Immediately after the tutorial, students proceed to their Initial
Assessment or Knowledge Check (Chap. 4).
The Initial Assessment may be
optional in some ALEKS Accounting courses based on the course
settings. Students with prior knowledge of accounting may wish to take the
assessment in order to begin their work with appropriate material.
To reiterate, no help of any kind should be given
to students being assessed, not even rephrasing a problem. It is also
advisable for students to have pencil and paper for assessments in
ALEKS. A calculator is included in ALEKS when needed.
The ALEKS assessment is adaptive and variable in length. Consistency
of effort and concentration may influence the length of an assessment.
