ALEKS Math consists of the following items:

一个工具教程，它将帮助您了解在测试中可用的问题类型、内容和数学工具。

Diagnostic (Test 1):You cannot use the result of this test to register for classes. The result of this test will create an individualized learning module that you will complete to refresh your math skills. You will complete this test in your own time with any digital device and a reliable Internet connection while following the honor policy stated above. Once you begin the Diagnostic (Test 1), you will have 48 hours to complete and submit the test. Otherwise, it will reset, and you will have to re-do the Diagnostic.
