How is my score used?

A final score of 85% or higher in ALEKS Chemistry allows you to enroll in or remain enrolled in CH301. The “final score” includes assessments plus learning mode within ALEKS Chemistry.

What are the required minimum scores for course placement?

Every UT student enrolling in CH301 needs a 85% or higher in ALEKS Chemistry.

What if I do not obtain the required minimum score?

• If the deadline has not yet passed:
  • Keep going!
  • ALEKS Chemistry allows you to increase your score by working through its tutorials and practice problems. Each correctly answered question increases your final score, which is what we use to determine eligibility.
  • Also make use of the Quest learning modules.
• If the deadline has passed:
  • A score less than 85% prohibits you from taking CH301 this semester.

How long is my ALEKS Chemistry score valid?

The score is valid for one semester. After that, the score expires and ALEKS Chemistry must be re-purchased and the assessment retaken.
