Assessment and Learning in Knowledge Spaces Placement, Preparation and Learning (ALEKS PPL)

The University of North Georgia offers an Assessment and Learning in Knowledge Spaces 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 helps determine the most appropriate courses for moving forward with college coursework. After taking a Placement Assessment, students should meet with their advisor to review their results and enroll in the best classes based on their scores.
