I noticed how many bad reviews ALEKS was receiving, which doesn't much sense to me due to the fact that it is a great program. Many of the bad reviews are mainly because the only people who actually leave reviews likely have something to complain about. Personally, ALEKS was great for me due to the fact that I can work at my own pace. I've seen multiple reviews complaining about how hard it is, and how it's unfair how hard the topics are. I find this a joke as the longest I've ever taken on a topic was around 10 minutes, and even if I don't know how something works, there's this handy little feature called the "explanation" button, which explains clearly and in detail how to complete the math problem. The way ALEKS is set up, I was able to do 3 years of math in one year, twice in a row. I'm currently in pre-calc, and I'm assuming most of the people in the reviews are not this far in math. It is very easy to progress, in fact, how my school is set up you are required to do 15 ALEKS topics a week, and we have 40 minutes of designated ALEKS time (usually) every day. I have actually been prevented from doing ALEKS due to how far ahead I have gotten, easily getting 45-60 topics per week.
