ALEKS Math Placement Results

Thank you for taking your ALEKS Math Placement Test.

• Your score is an official placement score that will be used to determine what math class you begin at Columbus State.
• Remember that you can re-take the placement assessment up to 4 times at no charge if you are unhappy with your score.
• You need to spend at least 5 hours working in your Prep and Learning Module between each new attempt at the placement assessment. 
  A few hours of focused preparation now may improve your placement score and allow you to bypass one or more pre-college mathematics courses, saving you both time and money.
