Mathematics Placement

ALEKS Math Placement

Lincoln Land Community College requires an ALEKS Placement, Preparation and Learning (ALEKS PPL) Assessment to determine readiness for mathematics courses. ALEKS PPL is a web-based program that uses artificial intelligence to map a student’s strengths and weaknesses. The Placement assessment is up to 30 questions and generally takes 60-90 minutes to complete. After the Placement Assessment, an individualized Prep and Learning module is available for students to refresh their knowledge on forgotten topics.

Placement Assessment Results

Your placement results is a number between 0 to 100. It represents the percentage of topics ALEKS has identified you have mastered:

• Score 0 to 45: MAT 004 (corequisite placement with MAT 104), MAT 005 (corequisite placement with MAT 105) and MAT 041 (corequisite with MAT 141)
