Why in the f***ing h**l any school would use this site. They must really hate there students enough to torture them with this forbiden website. To be honest humanity must haave really messed up for god to let this website happen. There is only one place for this website... hell. Lets look at the pros and cons
Con:
-Dosen't tell you what you did wrong and also dosen't help you understand what you did wrong
-Huants you in your sleep
-Hurts your grade
-Pain
-Worse than doulingo(you know how the doulingo bird will kill you, well this website makes you kill yourself)
Pros:
-There is no pros with this death trap

When pandora opened the box of all the awful things that would plague humanity for the rest of eternity one of the things that came out was this program. Im reading all these reviews and everyone is $#*!ing about struggling with math on this website but brother, try chemistry. On top of being one of the most miserable subjects known to mankind this program blows up that miserable aspect and makes you hate the subject more and lose confidence. The explanations are horrible and the margin for error is literally nonexistent. If mankind wants to move foward as a species step one in doing so is wiping this program off the face of the earth

Who ever made aleks literally wants me to kill myself. Seriously losing points that you already got and making you start over is a horrible idea. I seriously can't stand it. Why would they ever make something so stupid. It just gives me more anxiety and I can never get full points on my homework assignments because I am so freakin stupid and and there is no participation points. I hate math and I hate aleks, I am not learning anything and i am getting a freakin D in my class because we only use aleks. I might as well drop the class because this website is so freakin stupid. Thanks for making my life the worst it has ever been. You make me cry every single week and many other students as well.

I know that schools use this, but overall it's not very good for students to use. I understand, it has things that a school math app has but not only is it very boring, it's also very bland and doesn't teach education in a way kids would like. I feel that ALEKS should make this more appealing to kids (like how Dreambox, another learning math app for younger children) does it, where you can customize things and also get rewarded with little games to make it less boring. But nope, ALEKS makes it completely boring with
- Not rewarding you with anything.
- Being a bit more difficult.
- Making it a bit more stressful for kids who keep on getting answers wrong/incorrect.
- Just boring overall.
If a administrator/moderator sees this, I would like to see at least one of my suggestions implamanted.

This is the worst experience I've ever had with an academic program. It is atrocious, garbage, ghastly, loathsome. This program is an unforgivable blight, a curse, a disease, a rot on higher education chemistry. I'd rather craw naked across 2 miles of broken glass that use this program. After spending hours on one topic I was one correct answer away from moving on. S This program is $#*!ing garbage. Sucked all my god damn time. Go $#*! yourself aleks. I got so piss I called and yelled at the support line. Seriously this program is a god damned curse.

I'm a student. Our math teacher forces us to use ALEKS for 2 HOURS each week. That's not the worst part- when you get a question wrong, it removes a question you already got right and marks it wrong. This is EXTREMELY irritating and is very upsetting when you have 1 question left to do until you complete a topic. What's worse is that it makes you do these f*cking knowledge checks when you do a certain amount of topics. It doesn't sound bad, but it forces you to do 25 QUESTIONS until you complete it, emphasis on forces. You can't do reviews or do topics thanks to this goddamn knowledge check. And guess what? After you do all 25 questions, which takes about an hour and a half, it gives you a bad grade. All of that work, just for NOTHING.

Please, if you're an educator, like a professor, teacher, homeschooler, or whatever, PLEASE, DO NOT ALLOW YOUR KID(S) TO USE ALEKS. It has brought me to the point of crying and slitting my limbs. Please, never use this website and torture your children to use this website. They may seem okay with it, but on the inside, they hate ALEKS, they want to never use it again.

In conclusion, ALEKS tries to teach, however, they don't teach things in the correct way. Please, do not get your students or kids to use the ALEKS program.

Aleks is a hecking poo poo site and would not recommend, It litterly punishes u for learnig, each time i get something wrong im litterly getting spanked like geez. And the fact that i have to do frikin this s**t everyday is SOOOOO annoying. This site needs to go jump of the top of the grand canyon. Like fr fr. And not to mention if i dont do it my grade goes to absolute zero. My teacher really be the pacific ocean, just so salty. I have to go p00 p00 now if you will exuse me

I decided to revisit this... thing since my last review was awful. Where to start. The placement tests literally ruined the rest of the school year. They give you these easy questions and then $#@8 you over since they put you so far ahead. In my case... IT SENT ME A FEW MONTHS AHEAD WITH LESSONS I HAVE NEVER COVERED. I found myself doing topics in november with concepts taught in like january december and february. You may be thinking aleks has explanations, but they are garbage and its not like it matters, usually aleks will give you the explanation and in the next problem completely change the rules and its a completely different type of problem. ITS A PIECE OF S#!^! ITS A BUNCH OF F#@KING CRAP. And the problems themselves, since when was mastery type learning a good thing. It encourages you to cheat rather then to learn since its so frustrating losing progress that you might as well cheat to get this diarrhea mess over with. And who came up with kicking you out of a topic when you get a lot wrong? Not to mention LOSING your point when you get a question wrong. This causes a cycle of $#% where you get 1 right, then get the next wrong and lose your point. HOW DOES THAT ENCOURAGE YOU TO LEARN THE MATERIAL. This is god awful this is a$$. Its even worse then i remember. Id rather eat snotted diarrhea vomited out of a buffalos d###. Id rather play doom on atari. Id rather play halo on a tiger electronic wrist game. I've had more fun picking up the dog $#IT outside. Id rather be impaled by a pi$$ icicle then do 1 more topic. Its so bad it sucks. Its so bad it f###s. It so f###ing f### it sucks. Id rather drown in the toilet bowl after i eat spaghetti and take an explosive $#IT. I HAD TO DO 19 TOPICS A WEEK! To hell with this bull$#%. Thanks for considering my review. This program sucks
