I’m a huge fan!Both the Accuplacer and ALEKS courses were spot.I set a goal to see if I could cram learn and test into precalculus/ trigonometry inside of just two weeks - and I did it!I sincerely could barely do the foil method and I didn’t even know how to do long division and because of the course, and particularly Matt’s clarity in the lessons, I now play with functions for fun. :)Super grateful.

Aleks test went well. The videos combined with the practice and test format with extra help videos on the side were great. The course is laid out perfectly.

I found the course great! I have been out of school for a while so it was a great refresher before re attending uni. The skills I gained from this course definitely improved what my ALEKS score would have been. I found the tests at the end of each section the most helpful. But I also loved the short video format.

Mathhelp was very helpful. I never went past Algebra 1 in High School, and then 7 years later I needed to place into precalculus to pursue my first college degree. I studied through all of the ALEKS Mathhelp lessons, and then I got a 64 on the test, placing into the math class I needed to be in.Thank you so much for all the help.

This is a great program that is very straightforward and helpful. I struggle with math and need a higher placement score on the ALEKS test to finish my Bachelor's degree. I studied with the MathHelp step by step plan for a month and did well enough that I placed into my class! Thanks MathHelp!

The ALEKS prep was very helpful. I was able to test into a much higher math class than I'd expected. I loved the pace of the videos and that there were practice test throughout and at the end of each section. It helped me to figure out where I needed more studying. The whole course is really well organized at thought out. I most definitely recommend!

The ALEKS test actually went really well! I got a 76, which placed me into the best section I could have. I think that the website itself was very organized in finding all the elements, and I also think that the condensed/ shorter videos combined with the examples were most helpful.

I'm a returning college student who hasn't taken a math class in nearly 5 years. I felt like I needed somewhere I could build on my fundamentals, so I turned to MathHelp. I started with the first ALEKS lesson on MathHelp, watching all the videos, and taking every test until I could pass with a 100% all the way up to the end of exponential and logarithmic equations, which was lesson 179. Overall, I'm very satisfied with my time using MathHelp. Topics I remember as being complicated, like logarithms, were actually very easy to understand thanks to the short video format of the lessons. Recently I took the ALEKS placement assessment and scored well enough to place into pre calculus. I’m impressed I was able to do that well, going from barely remembering the fundamentals of algebra to nearly placing into calculus.

I was attempting to place into calculus I and I did achieve that. I scored an 85 on the ALEKS. I was a very poor student in high school just so you understand the full picture. I'm trying to catch up on things I should have had a basic foundation in back then. So it was really nice to have a refresher course on all the rules and properties of math and algebra leading up to the calculus portions. Overall, I think the material was very well put together on your site. Clear and concise.

went from a scoring a 12 to a 68 on the ALEKS test placing me in Pre Calculus at my college. The course was very effective. The reviews at the end of each subject were great

This website was a great help to me as I needed immediate preparation for the ALEKS. From the registration, to the content, to the explanations given on problems, all of it was a stellar experience. The ones who put this together knew their material and worked successfully to come up with a great product (not the result of multiplication type product, see now I'm even making math jokes haha) that I used daily. I hope others find it as helpful as I did and God bless the ones who put this program together.

Your lessons were phenomenal, and I would be remiss if I didn't give proper feedback.Let me just start by saying I have been putting off (and dreading) taking the ALEKS Math Assessment for about 2 years now. Math hasn't always been my favorite subject, but as I'm getting closer to completing my degree, I could no longer avoid it. I knew that there was a possibility that I would have to take additional courses before I was permitted to take the courses I need for my degree, and that would have pushed my graduation time back, depending on how I performed in those classes, first. With that being said, I found the Mathhelp site, saw that there were great reviews, and decided to give it a try.Going through the lessons, some concepts that I didn't understand in high school, somehow made plenty of sense this time around. I found that your lessons specifically, were the ones I was able to most understand. I think it's your teaching style. You explained things in a "relaxed and casual" way, which made the lessons seem more personable and one on one. The other 2 instructors were great too. 🙂 I had a high hope that these lessons, by some miracle, could possibly help me to test out of any prerequisite classes I would need. Although ALEKS gives you 3 attempts to take the test, I didn't want to have to retake it if I didn't have to.Anyway, I finally took the plunge (ALEKS Assessment attempt #1) and tested out of the prerequisite courses!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm not exaggerating when I tell you I was close to crying when I saw my results.The lessons were everything I could hope for and more. Thank you so much!

I took the ALEKS test prep and it went really well because of the help from this program. I got into the class I needed to place into. I think the most helpful thing that was provided was while taking the tests at the end of every question I could see how the math was supposed to look if I got it wrong. It was really helpful for me to go back through that math that I blocked out in high school.

What is San Diego State University known for?

With the metropolis of San Diego, access to the Pacific Ocean, and mountain recreational opportunities all just a short drive away, San Diego State University nevertheless manages to rank as one of the top research institutions in the country.  The university is also well known for its ownership of the city’s public television and radio station, KPBS, and its Viejas Arena, which hosts Aztec Basketball and live concerts.  Its Imperial Valley Campus, located about 120 miles to the east of the city, has two locations, both of which offer interactive videoconferencing with live classes at the main campus.  Calexico, CA, the site of one of the Imperial Valley campuses, is on the border with Mexico, and the university’s facilities at this location include the Rodney Auditorium, and John Steppling Art Gallery, which make the benefits of educational and cultural programs available to the entire community.  The Brawley facilities are located about 24 miles north of Calexico.  Students may pursue 12 bachelor’s and 5 master’s degree programs, including the Master of Social Work, at SDSU-IV.  With a total enrollment of 34,828 students, the university is the third largest in the state.  

Entrance to the university is obtained through submission of the California State University common admission application.  This system uses an Eligibility index to rank applicants.  The index is based on CSU calculated high school GPA and scores from the SAT or ACT.  When applying for advanced degrees, prospective students must submit scores from either the GRE, the GMAT, or the LSAT.  Further, international students must provide proof of English proficiency and may do so with scores from the TOEFL, the IELTS, or the PTE.  First-time freshmen requiring placement in English or math courses with additional academic support will participate in the university’s college-readiness program, known as FAST (Freshmen Academic Success Track).  Certain majors, generally in STEM fields, may require chemistry and math placement tests to be taken using ALEKS.

Since 2014, the university’s School of Nursing (SON) has admitted students into the Bachelor of Science Nursing (BSN) program directly from high school.  This direct entry admission requires that students declare nursing as their intended major on the common application.  SAT or ACT scores are factored into the admissions decision, and traditional prerequisite courses are completed during the first year.  Registered Nurses (RN) seeking admission into the BSN program must also be able to meet the university’s general requirements.  However, Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVN) are able to enroll through the Open University without undertaking the full admissions process.  Students who are interested in a career teaching at the elementary or middle school level will most likely complete a Liberal Studies major.  However, the Integrated Teacher Education Programs (ITEP) offer students in various bachelor’s programs the opportunity to combine their degree with a credential option that will prepare them to teach grades K-12.  The university’s Imperial Valley campus has received national recognition for its education program.  The DOE (Department of Education) at this campus offers credential programs.  In order to enroll, students must provide scores from the California Basic Education Skills Test (CBEST).
