Your placement assessment score is a number between 0 and 100. It represents the percentage of topics ALEKS has identified you have mastered. Your ALEKS score and your program of study determine course placement. You will receive a score report at the end of the test, available online within 24 to 48 hours after completion.
Math requirements vary greatly based on your major, degree, or certificate and the requirements of your intended transfer institution. Speak with an academic advisor during new student orientation or before registering to ensure the correct math course is chosen.
Your math placement score is valid for two years. If you have not enrolled in your first math course within two years after taking the ALEKS math placement, you must retake the assessment to enroll in a math course.
Once you have enrolled in a math course at ECC, you will not be eligible to retake the placement assessment unless you earn an A grade in your first math course taken at ECC. After several years, you may continue the math sequence or appeal to take the math placement assessment if you return to ECC.
