ALEKS during orientation

<p>For transfer students that got into CNS, the ALEKS test is required by June 15 (online). My question is do we have to take the test again at orientation? I think I read somewhere that we did have to take the ALEKS online by June 15 AND at orientation, but I'm have trouble finding where I read this. I'm starting to think I'm imagining the whole thing?! I hope I am cuz it doesn't make sense.</p>

<p>Can someone sort this out for me please, especially those who already attended orientation in the past. Thanks!!</p>

<p>My son took the ALEKS test before orientation, but didn’t like his score (89), so he took it again during orientation and received a 95. You can take it again, if you need to.</p>

<p>There is the ALEKS test that you are required to take online and an in-class one that you must take. If I’m not mistaken the one online is what is required and used to allow entrance into classes (80% for Calculus?). The in-class one, however, should just be for you. Kind of like a confirmation to show that the online ALEKS score wasn’t just a fluke (hopefully it doesn’t show that anyone cheated …) so you don’t get put in the wrong class.</p>

<p>The in-class one/one you take at orientation is 21 questions and will been taken in a large auditorium with the rest of the prospective college of natural sciences students. No calculators. You don’t need it regardless though; seemed more logic-based to me as opposed to any serious mathematics.</p>

<p>Edit: Oh here are the actual requirements
80% for Math 408C
70% for Math 408K and 408N
70% for CS 312
55% for Math 305G
30% Math 310T and 316*
30% SSC * 302. 303, 304, 305, and 306

<p>They’ll also hand you this paper during advising to tell recommend to you what plan of action to take based on your scores.
