Chapter 4: Assessment Mode

The Assessment Mode is the heart of the ALEKS system. The program quickly and accurately determines a student's knowledge, in order to deliver individualized instruction on the exact topics the student is ready to learn. In ALEKS, learning is powered and optimized by assessment. The terms "knowledge check" and "assessment" are synonymous and will be used interchangeably.
