ALEKS Math Placement Assessment (PPL) — McGraw Hill
The ALEKS Placement Assessment is an online adaptive math test that colleges use to place students into courses from basic math to calculus. It asks open-response questions, typed or built with an on-screen palette, in 25 questions or fewer across 314 topics, and reports a 0 to 100 score. SummitCert's portal is a study aid with practice questions and explanations, flashcards and progress tracking for the same topics; it cannot reproduce the adaptive, answer-entry format.

ALEKS Math Placement exam requirements & cost
Straight from the certifying body — separate from what we charge for the study portal.
The ALEKS Placement Assessment is an adaptive online test that determines a student's knowledge across 314 topics in 25 questions or fewer, and answers are open-response rather than multiple choice (McGraw Hill). The score from 0 to 100 reflects the share of topics the system judges you have mastered, and the institution maps score ranges to courses, so there is no national passing score; up to five assessment attempts are available. This portal is a study aid: its 30-question practice set is multiple choice and does not reproduce the adaptive, open-response format. There is no national passing score: the assessment reports a score from 0 to 100 and each institution maps score ranges to the math courses it offers. McGraw Hill's page does not state who sets the price or list an amount; institutions usually charge for the assessment and its learning module, so ask your college. The content outline spreads questions across 11 areas; the largest are Signed Numbers, Linear Equations, and Inequalities (11.0%); Lines and Systems of Linear Equations (10.0%); Quadratic and Polynomial Functions (10.0%). The full list of areas and weights is on the portal exam page. The college or program that requires ALEKS decides who must take it and how its score maps to courses; there is no national eligibility rule.
