ALEKS Chemistry provides extensive coverage of chemistry at the high school level. This includes coverage of the NGSS high school standards which apply to chemistry, and essential algebra and physics concepts that are pre-requisites for the successful study of chemistry. Content can be highly customized to match almost any curriculum and order of instruction.
Traditional Algebra 1A provides complete coverage of the algebra concepts and prerequisites typically covered in the first half of an Algebra 1 course. It does not provide extensive coverage of non-algebra topics, such as probability, statistics, and geometry.

Algebra Readiness. Algebra Readiness provides robust coverage of the basic concepts of algebra, algebra prerequisites, and related math curriculum standards. Algebra Readiness does not provide coverage of non-algebra middle school mathematics topics, such as probability, statistics, and geometry. Grade 8.
Pre-Algebra provides standards-based coverage of all of Grade 8 Math, including a robust introduction to the basic concepts of algebra and its prerequisites.
CA Algebra 1 provides comprehensive coverage of the most current CA Grade 9 math curriculum standards. Such standards provide for comprehensive coverage of Algebra 1 and its prerequisites, but do not cover non-algebra mathematics topics, such as probability, statistics, and geometry.
ALEKS is a research-based, online learning program that offers course products for Math, Chemistry, Statistics, and more. Rooted in 20 years of research and analytics, ALEKS is a proven, online learning platform that helps educators and parents understand each student's knowledge and learning progress in depth, and provides the individual support required for every student to achieve mastery.
ALEKS was developed at the University of California by cognitive scientists, software engineers, mathematicians, and educators. Using ground-breaking research in Knowledge Space Theory, these pioneers in adaptive machine learning designed an efficient way to determine students’ precise knowledge and provide them with a personalized, meaningful learning experience. ALEKS development was supported by major funding from the National Science Foundation.
Constantly adapting to update each student’s knowledge state, ALEKS guides students to precisely what they are ready to learn at all times.

The Assessment and Learning in Knowledge Spaces (ALEKS) placement exam is used for placement in algebra, precalculus, calculus, and general chemistry. You only need to take this one exam for placement.
2 The ALEKS exam changed on January 1, 2020. If you took the old exam (offered prior to that date), the minimum ALEKS score needed is 75%
Taking the Exam. The ALEKS placement exam costs $10. The exam may be taken a second time after (1) a 48-hour cool-off period, and (2) you have spent at least 10 hours working in the ALEKS prep modules before a second attempt. You will not incur a fee for the second attempt. The charge will be billed to your UF account.

Both MAC 1147 (or MAC 1140 and MAC 1114) and CHM 1025 with minimum grades of C.
MAC 1147 — Precalculus Algebra and Trigonometry (4 credits) — a fast-paced review of both areas
There are two kinds of general chemistry courses: CHM2045, General Chemistry 1 and CHM2095, General Chemistry 1 for Engineers. To determine whether a general chemistry course (if either) is required for a major, check the requirements for that major. Pre-Health students may also need general chemistry.
ALEKS is an online math assessment and adaptive learning program for grades 3–12 that helps students review and successfully master the skills needed to meet critical mathematical benchmarks and standards. Using adaptive questioning, ALEKS precisely identifies which math concepts a student knows and doesn’t know within a course. Then, through individualized instruction, each student is provided with a personalized learning pathway that focuses on the exact topics they are most ready to learn, allowing ALEKS to effectively target any unfinished learning while minimizing frustration, accelerating momentum, and building confidence.
ALEKS course content spans from Grade 3 to Precalculus which allows students to work on lesson-level content at their own pace while still acquiring prerequisite skill support or extending their learning, making it ideal for remediation, intervention, or enrichment settings.
Using an automatic cycle of assessment, ALEKS ensures individualized learning pathways are continually refreshed based on each student’s unique needs. These assessments also provide instructors with visibility at a granular level with reports measuring progress by student, topic, or standard.
46 of 95 total topics are included in this priorities-focused course for students who may need additional support for unfinished learning. Once students have mastered 75 percent of these topics, they can be moved to the full grade-level course.
With new Priority Standards Courses for Grades 3–5 and Algebra 1, teachers have the option of having students focus exclusively on prerequisite topics and grade-level standards that will be critical to their success within the full grade-level course . These courses allow teachers to address unfinished learning and accelerate students to grade level while still supporting them with the individualized Learning Paths that ALEKS is known for providing. When students master at least 75 percent of the topics within the Priority Standards Course, teachers can confidently move them into the standard grade-level course to learn and master the remaining content for that grade.
