ALEKS score : which math class should I take?

KEY:

  • P3 Hold: If you receive an email at your PCC email saying you have a P3 registration hold after you take ALEKS, do not panic. You didn’t do anything wrong! Reach out to an academic advisor to make sure your placement is complete and accurate (Panther Registration Session). Also, before meeting with an advisor consider re-taking ALEKS. You can take ALEKS up to 5 times, and we only use your highest score for placement. You will be required to complete a total of 3 hours in the ALEKS review module before a new test attempt unlocks for you.
  • DZ: Decision Zone conversation, means you have options and can decide which options suits you best
