Love Aleks!
November 5, 2019

It works well, and is amazing! It really helped boost my math grades, and I even excelled into a new level beyond school!

ABSOLUTE HOT GARBAGE
November 3, 2019

Horrible program, zero out of ten, would throw it out the window if it were a physical object, it causes so much excess stress and needs to be publicly excecuted immediately, through all my schooling, all aleks taught me was a hatred of online math programs.

Terrible for children
November 1, 2019

This program is definitely for the patient people, and patient people only. I DOES "teach" a lot of math, but in an ineffective way. First, it doesn't show you which parts of a question you got incorrect. Secondly, the lessons may teach how to do it, but a problem may arise that is a different situation than taught. When you get one question or part of a question wrong, it will take off a full point, and won't tell you which part. Additionally, knowledge checks only add more work, and does little to show where a student is. Overall, I wouldn't recommend ALEKS to any teachers that teaches high school or below, as it causes frustrations and has ineffective teaching methods.

If you do Aleks, the boogieman will shove a 18-inch dildo up your butthole. When I was doing Aleks, my school burned but my teacher told me to keep going

An Summary of ALEKS
October 31, 2019

What the $#*! did you just $#*!ing say about me, you little $#*!? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the ALEKS Knowledge Check, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on ALEKS Topics and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in math warfare and I'm the top math major in the entire US education system You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the $#*! out with math precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my $#*!ing words. You think you can get away with saying that $#*! to me over the Internet? Think again, $#*!er. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're $#*!ing dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare math skills. Not only am I extensively trained in ALEKS combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the ALEKS Knowledge Check and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable $#*! off the face of the continent, you little $#*!. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your $#*!ing tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will $#*! fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're $#*!ing dead, kiddo.

Trashfire
October 31, 2019

While I was doing aleks 9-11 happened and my dog choked on a pen. My teacher told me to do 15 topics, my assumption is that that is why this happened. I tried to talk to my counselor about this but he said that it was my fault and he couldn't do anything about it. Overall I dislike Aleks and my teacher.
PS: While we are on the subject my dad works at aleks, and lets just say he doesn't anymore

No.
October 29, 2019

I've been getting 100s in math, and haven't been the least bit stressed, like, at all. Now, we have to do 25 Aleks lessons per week. I have been working from the time i get home to the time I go to sleep, no distractions, and it´s still a close call. My parents are worried about the amount of work I have at home an are insisting its because I get distracted. I dont. Just. Help, please. No, I would not recommend the hell that is Aleks to my worst enemy.

Awful Setup
October 28, 2019

The bar progress system is actual torture. I've had actual meltdowns spending an hour on one topic. Not only that but topic navigation is messy and disorganized. It was much better in past years.

Don't use it!
October 25, 2019

So if you don't understand it and you click explanation it doesn't even make sense, also when I get a question wrong it wouldn't give me a second chance (unless It's only for me)
Sometimes i would ask my math teacher he would click explanation and he said it doesn't make any sense

This $#*!ing software might not of been intended to replace a teacher and be used as a online course, however, my university legitamately made this the teacher essentially. This piece of $#*! cannot $#*!ing teach. At all. I want to kill myself using this crapware. This company needs to go bankrupt.

So hard and the explanations are so unhelpful. Only use this for your class if you want them to be miserable and frustrated. Don't recommend. Would give 0 stars if it was an option

This site is CANCER. It is the worst site ever made. You don't learn anything when you use it. Every time i use it i get stressed out and angry. I'm failing my class because of it. And it just repeats things over and over. The lessons it gives you pre-entering a subject don't help at all. If a teacher is reading this, don't give this to your students. This site is abysmal and should be banned.

The video review is full of bs. Although sometimes the practice kind of help a little but when it comes to certain problems the app is no help at all.
