It isn't as bad as everyone says it is. My teacher assigned it to my class, and I thought it was good. Ignore all of the one-star folks, they probably just had a bad experience with it. My main problem wasn't the website, but the fact I had to do it for over an hour every day.
I would rather get kicked in the balls with a steel boot than do one more math problem on this god forsaken website
This program has made homeschooling a whole new level of stressful I have to complete my pie by the end of the year (in 2 weeks) how am I supposed to do that please stop your program for the next two weeks because that would be very helpful.

I currently have to use ALEKS to complete schoolwork, and it refuses to work for me and some of my other classmates. Not only that but when it does work it doesn't save the answers. It's incredible frustrating to use. All in all it sucks.
Total bull$#*!. $#*!ing no. Do not give a $#*! with this $#*!. Do not get. Would be zero stars if possible. No matter what, do not pay for this. A waste of time and money. DO NOT GET THIS. JUST LOOK AT THE OTHER REVIEWS.
This is trash waste of space you give me a head ache just delete your app help us all out i beg just look at all these sad children you monster
This is terrifying. Please murder whoever made this crap. Please die. It's a math site that tells you that you have the wrong answer when you have the right answer and then shows you your answer. It ruined my life. I have to do this every other day. End the pain, delete ALEKS
I started bleeding from all of my pours due to my blood pressure being as high as the average road bike tire.
Ok, so im in 6th grade, and i have to do this all week! I hope that the founder of aleks dies a slow and painful death and goes to hell for creating this website... it makes math class ten times worse!
I have multiple learning disabilities already, I sighed up for a in person class and this is what I got. This is not what I meant when I wanted a in person class. I am in college first year and this is supposed to be elementary algebra. Had to pay over 100 dollars along with the 400 class fee biggest waist of my money. The learning section makes absolutely no seance and neater do the explanations. My father who has a masters can not figure this crap out. The only way to pass is to cheat, I am not going to waist 500 bucks and fail due to this horrible program.
I never knew I had algolagnia (pain fetish) until I met aleks. The feeling of working on a problem for an hour, to finally get the right answer and then to have aleks bealive you're wrong, there is nothing like it. Even my dad leaveing me when I was 5 does not even compear to the pain I feel when I see the demonic orange text "Try Again". I bealive aleks was created by the dark lord, becuase I have only seen the dark lord twice. Once when I was on mushrooms and the other time was when I spent an entire day working on one section of aleks.
Aleks.com: I feel Like To Kill the world with how smart I AM...
Me: hmm, ok. *you verified piece of trash*
Aleks.com: Gimme yo brain.
Honestly, ALEKS is not the best, but I like how it congratulates you on finishing a topic, even if it gave you the topic in the first place. If you have unending patience, I would advise, be careful. Some people hate it, some people love it, and some people can't see the other side of the conversation. Just because the teachers think it helps us learn doesn't mean it does. How about they try 100 minutes and 8 topics a week?
Sincerely,
A 5th-grade girl who is at the end of her nerves.
The descriptions to help understand the work sucks and I spend countless hours doing homework that I would rather do wrong and take a bad grade on. This website needs to figure out how to explain problems to students or have a max missed question limit or something. I have been doing one chemistry topic for hours and I it just keeps letting me get one right then one wrong and it's and unending cycle of suck. I only cuss and hate life when I am doing homework on this website.
Honestly I wish I could give this a zero-star rating. I am constantly, time and time again, having trouble with this website. If it's a multiple choice question, it says "two or more of your answers are wrong," and it does not tell me which answers are wrong, so it's always a guess. THEN, it teaches me one equation that focuses on positive numbers then moves on to a question that focuses on negative numbers and not even a possibility for another question. And when I even mess up ONE tiny thing, I lose my question streak and sometimes (most times) have to start right over. This is horrible and I hope to never use it again in my coming future. Might I add that I made a new account JUST for this godforsaken website.
This freaking sucks. Instead of helping me, it's made everything worse. It doesn't actually explains the problems. The problems get increasingly harder to the point where it literally takes me an hour to do one lesson because it keeps making me go back and redo it. My grade has gone down ever since we started using this stupid app. It's horrible, don't use it.
I don't get the learning part in ALEKS I mean what is the point of it other than tortureing kids I mean what the heck man it stinks. I am surprised ALEKS has not closed
Answer: Because the ALEKS program is literal hell and we people are just showing our hatred for it
Answer: Most likely.
Answer: Yes deal with it
Answer: Because people want to commit suicide in an original way, and ALEKS is the best way.
Answer: I don't think so but believe me a class action suit would be an improvement
Answer: I paid over $150 for this sumbi**h, I expect it to work
Answer: No i do not think the website owner has issued one but I think the feelings for aleks would be "down the toilet"
Answer: I realize this reply is very late but in case for anyone who needs it: -Let's say you're learning how to use long division. They have 3 questions in it. You master the first one, then go on to the next one. You get the second one wrong, guess what? They punish you and take back your first answer so now you have to answer it again. -How fun! And don't forget the useless knowledge checks!
