K-12 Course Recommendations

Please refer to the below recommendations, based on student performance level, when selecting an ALEKS course for your students. At any time, you may move a student to a new course. If a student completes over 90% of her pie after the Initial Assessment, we recommend moving the student to a higher course level; if the student completes less than 10%, we recommend moving her to a lower course.

Schools vary dramatically; these are only recommendations and not necessarily the course assignment your specific school should follow.
