ALEKS Math & ACCUPLACER Testing
Students must be admitted in order to take 91PORNA placement tests.
ALEKS MATH PLACEMENT
Most new students to 91PORNA will be required to take the ALEKS placement test for mathematics. ALEKS is a powerful artificial intelligence-based (AI) assessment software product that zeroes in on the student's mathematical strengths and weaknesses, reports its findings, and then, if necessary, provides a learning module to improve the student's knowledge and skill.
Placement test results are used by academic advisors to determine proper course placement.
- The ALEKS math placement test can be taken online from home through FlashLine.
- ALEKS is administered at no charge.
- ALEKS Math placement may take up to 90 minutes to complete.
- For more information on ALEKS Math, log into FlashLine > Student > Resources > Placement Assessments.

Placement test results are used by academic advisors to determine proper course placement.
