<p>What is it haha</p>
<p>It is a test you have to take to be prepared for calculus</p>
<p>Is it only for CNS students? I’m going to be an engineering student, and I thought I’d be placed directly into M408D, assuming that I get the required score (5-7) on the IB Math HL exam.</p>
<p>Do you take the test at home or at orientation?</p>
<p>I had to take the ALEKS test for Chemistry (Chemical Engineering major). Yes you take the test AT HOME, NOT during orientation. If you score at least a 4-5 on the Calc BC test , the advisers will directly put you in M 408D but KEEP IN MIND M 408D is really rigorous- I highly suggest taking M 408C first, even if it seems easy it will better prepare you for M 408D and can even boost up your GPA</p>
<p>@iambored10 - I’m going to be a chemical engineering major as well. When/how do I find out which ALEKS tests I have to take?</p>
<p>Well, you can take it at home or at one of the computers in the UT libraries. and yes you must take the class before the 12th day of calculus class (I believe… I could be wrong). and the test was not as simple as I thought it would be, but review logarithm rules and precalculus stuff and you would do fine. I was bogged down by some of the graphing stuff on ALEKS</p>
<p>Do transfer students have to take this too?</p>
<p>so if I’m coming in with credit for 408 K and L I don’t take it</p>
<p>Yes Transfer students enrolling in CH 301, etc. will have to. If you didn’t get an email after registering for courses during orientation or whenever you registered, then don’t worry.</p>
<p>since you are a chemical engineering major, I believe you will have to take the Chem ALEKS and the Math calculus readiness ALEKS if you did not ocme in with credit for the calculus or the general chemistry.</p>
<p>Oh, so if I do have credit for M408C, I won’t have to take ALEKS for math?</p>
