I currently have to use ALEKS to complete schoolwork, and it refuses to work for me and some of my other classmates. Not only that but when it does work it doesn't save the answers. It's incredible frustrating to use. All in all it sucks.

This is terrifying. Please murder whoever made this crap. Please die. It's a math site that tells you that you have the wrong answer when you have the right answer and then shows you your answer. It ruined my life. I have to do this every other day. End the pain, delete ALEKS

Hot garbage
April 23, 2020

I have multiple learning disabilities already, I sighed up for a in person class and this is what I got. This is not what I meant when I wanted a in person class. I am in college first year and this is supposed to be elementary algebra. Had to pay over 100 dollars along with the 400 class fee biggest waist of my money. The learning section makes absolutely no seance and neater do the explanations. My father who has a masters can not figure this crap out. The only way to pass is to cheat, I am not going to waist 500 bucks and fail due to this horrible program.

I never knew I had algolagnia (pain fetish) until I met aleks. The feeling of working on a problem for an hour, to finally get the right answer and then to have aleks bealive you're wrong, there is nothing like it. Even my dad leaveing me when I was 5 does not even compear to the pain I feel when I see the demonic orange text "Try Again". I bealive aleks was created by the dark lord, becuase I have only seen the dark lord twice. Once when I was on mushrooms and the other time was when I spent an entire day working on one section of aleks.

Not my favorite.
April 22, 2020

Honestly, ALEKS is not the best, but I like how it congratulates you on finishing a topic, even if it gave you the topic in the first place. If you have unending patience, I would advise, be careful. Some people hate it, some people love it, and some people can't see the other side of the conversation. Just because the teachers think it helps us learn doesn't mean it does. How about they try 100 minutes and 8 topics a week?

Sincerely,
A 5th-grade girl who is at the end of her nerves.

I hate aleks it sucks
April 21, 2020

The descriptions to help understand the work sucks and I spend countless hours doing homework that I would rather do wrong and take a bad grade on. This website needs to figure out how to explain problems to students or have a max missed question limit or something. I have been doing one chemistry topic for hours and I it just keeps letting me get one right then one wrong and it's and unending cycle of suck. I only cuss and hate life when I am doing homework on this website.

Absolutely terrible.
April 21, 2020

Honestly I wish I could give this a zero-star rating. I am constantly, time and time again, having trouble with this website. If it's a multiple choice question, it says "two or more of your answers are wrong," and it does not tell me which answers are wrong, so it's always a guess. THEN, it teaches me one equation that focuses on positive numbers then moves on to a question that focuses on negative numbers and not even a possibility for another question. And when I even mess up ONE tiny thing, I lose my question streak and sometimes (most times) have to start right over. This is horrible and I hope to never use it again in my coming future. Might I add that I made a new account JUST for this godforsaken website.

Aleks sucks
April 21, 2020

This freaking sucks. Instead of helping me, it's made everything worse. It doesn't actually explains the problems. The problems get increasingly harder to the point where it literally takes me an hour to do one lesson because it keeps making me go back and redo it. My grade has gone down ever since we started using this stupid app. It's horrible, don't use it.

I would compare using ALEKS as to repeatedly hitting my head over and over on a brick wall until I get the right answer.

#&(# YOU ALEKS
April 17, 2020

THIS IS A PIECE OF ABSOLUTE TRASH. If you have children never make them use this soul sucking, revolting piece of sh*t program. It purposely changes the order where you put answers to attempt to trick you and practice more math you already know how to do, and if your doing any type of complex calculator math you are apparently not allowed to keep your calculator settings for more then one problem. F*ck you ALEKS. I hope whoever made this can see this message and die immediately.

My school used this over 6 years ago, and when it tried to teach me how to do problems it failed horribly with confusing uses of words and things. I came back in ninth grade to see if things improved any, besides the interface nothing has changed, confusing text, nonsensical explanations of problems, The team at ALEKS needs to pull the website and realize that kids in grade school aren't college level.

Absolute Garbage
April 16, 2020

ALEKS is in no way a learning tool. It is just a time suck. I pity anyone that has to use this for any subject. I have no idea how ALEKS cons schools into using their product. If you are a teacher and considering it, I highly encourage you to try it out yourself. You will be instantly deterred as it will be a detriment to your students learning.
