ALEKS ALEKS PPL: Math Placement, Preparation & Learning

Snow College uses ALEKS Placement, Preparation and Learning (ALEKS PPL) to determine readiness for mathematics courses and to give students the opportunity to review math skills and then place into the math course where they will have the greatest chance for success. ALEKS PPL is a web-based program that uses artificial intelligence to map a student’s strengths and weaknesses

ALEKS consists of three parts:

  • An Initial Placement Assessment, which will give you an idea of where you place and what skills you can work on to improve that placement
  • 1-year access to the Prep and Learning Module, an individualized, self-paced online review
  • Access to up to four additional Proctored Placement Exams
ALEKS Exam: Can be up to 30 questions, takes an average of 60-90 minutes to complete, and there is no practice test available.
