亚历克斯数学评估
The 亚历克斯数学评估 ensures students' readiness for certain math, 统计数据, and chemistry courses at Penn State. Since these courses 是 demanding, it is important for you to start with a firm foundation in your understanding.
诚实工作很重要
There is no benefit to inflating or deflating your abilities on the ALEKS math assessment.
ALEKS scores will not change your acceptance to Penn State.The ONLY way your ALEKS score is used is to help you choose courses that match your incoming knowledge level.
Incorrect placement can delay graduation and negatively affect your GPA. Dishonest work on this assessment causes many problems, including placement into a course that is not appropriate for your current level of knowledge.
Cheating is a violation of Penn State's academic policies and principles. 请检查您的 student rights and responsibilities,以及 十大网投平台信誉排行榜行为准则. 尽你最大的努力做到诚实.
你需要什么?
- About two hours of uninterrupted work time
- 你的宾州州立大学用户id (e.g. Xyz5000)和密码
- 一支铅笔和一张纸
- 可靠的互联网连接
- A space conducive to doing your best work

会发生什么
Plan to complete the assessment in a single one- to two-hour sitting. If you do not complete the assessment in one sitting, you will have 48 hours to complete it before the assessment is reset.
You will answer up to 30 questions. There 是 no multiple choice questions.
在你做评估之前, ALEKS will present a short tutorial on how to enter answers, how to use the graphing utilities, and how to use the built-in calculator. TAKE YOUR TIME WITH THIS TUTORIAL.
ALEKS scores of 30 or higher reflect adequate preparation for college-level math. ALEKS scores cannot be interpreted in the same way as exam grades. 如果你的分数低于30分, Penn State has coursework appropriate for you, or you can use ALEKS to review and 重新测试.
