The Composition Online Evaluation (CompEval) and the ALEKS Placement, Preparation and Learning (ALEKS PPL) will help determine the best composition and math classes for you to begin your studies. You will not be able to register for composition or math classes without completing the ALEKS PPL and CompEval unless you have received credit for those courses through Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, dual enrollment or transfer credit.

The links will take you to the ALEKS PPL and CompEval sign-in pages, where you will find more instruction regarding each evaluation. Then you’ll be prompted to enter your ERNIE login in order to begin the evaluation.

If you are returning to ALEKS to continue your self-paced study or to take another evaluation, please take the following steps to make sure you do not create a duplicate account:

• In ALEKS, select “Yes, I want to use my existing ALEKS account."
• Enter the login name and password for your account.

Engineering Students Who Must Complete This Exam: Aerospace, Civil, Mechanical, Still Exploring

Strong spatial visualization skills are cognitive skills linked to success in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields. If your major is Aerospace Engineering, Civil Engineering, Engineering Physics, Mechanical Engineering or Still Exploring Engineering, the Purdue Spatial Visualization Test-Visualization of Rotations (PSVT:R) exam will help determine whether you need EGR 100 — a course designed to provide spatial visualization training to those who require it.

Embry‑Riddle Aeronautical University – Prescott requires the ALEKS Placement, Preparation and Learning (ALEKS PPL) Assessment for all students who will be enrolling in a math course at the university. The goal of the placement is to determine readiness for mathematics courses. ALEKS PPL is a web-based program that uses artificial intelligence to map a student’s strengths and weaknesses. The Placement Assessment is up to 30 questions and generally takes 60-90 minutes to complete. After the Placement Assessment, an individualized Prep and Learning Module is available for students to refresh their knowledge on forgotten topics. Students then have the opportunity to reassess and improve their placement.

ALEKS consists of three parts:

• An initial Placement Assessment.
• The Prep and Learning Module, an individualized, self-paced online review.
• Access to four additional Placement Assessments.

Embry‑Riddle Aeronautical University – Prescott encourages each student to spend time in the Prep and Learning Module, even if you achieve your desired score, because time spent in ALEKS will ultimately lead to better preparation and improved grades.

The Placement Assessment results will help determine the most appropriate courses for each student as they move forward with college coursework. After taking a Placement Assessment, students should meet with their advisor to review their results and enroll in the best classes based on their scores.

This is a “Placement Assessment,” not a test. The difference is that a Placement Assessment helps determine what a student knows and what a student needs to work on. At the end of the ALEKS PPL Assessment, a student will have a much better sense of personal strengths and weaknesses in math and have a chance to brush up on topics that the student has not practiced for some time. Regardless of your ALEKS score, you should enroll in the recommended first-semester MA course for your degree as indicated in the Registration Guides. If you fall below the threshold for your required course, you should take steps to increase your proficiency before August.

Be honest. It is important that each student takes the Placement Assessment seriously and gives it an honest effort so that the Placement Assessment truly reflects their current level of knowledge and math preparedness. There is no benefit to cheating on the Placement Assessment — the only result will be a student enrolling in a class that is too difficult or not challenging enough, costing the student time and money. Therefore, while taking the Placement Assessment, a student should not consult any outside sources for help (friends/family, internet searches, textbooks, notes, etc.). The purpose of the Placement Assessment is to give an accurate measure of each student’s current mathematical knowledge state so that they will be successful in mathematics courses.

Embry-Riddle Worldwide is committed to supporting your academic success from the beginning. That's why we use online skills assessments to determine the best classes for you to take at the beginning of your academic career. We want to make sure you are taking courses that will put you on the road to success.

The English and math skills assessments will help determine the best composition and math classes for you to begin your studies. You will not be able to register for composition or math classes without completing the English and math skills assessment exams.
