MAE: Next Steps
Now that you've filled out the billing form, Here are the next steps:
1) Make an ALEKS PPL account. Click here to create your ALEKS account. The title of the class will be "UCR MAE 24-25, Sum24 - Sp25 2024".
2) Take a first unproctored attempt. This is for you to practice. Do not log into ProctorU while taking this first attempt. The placement you get on this attempt does not count even if it is proctored.
- The first attempt in ALEKS is for practice and the status cannot be changed.
- You are required to do 3 hours of prep after each attempt.
- Do not take any attempts within 24 hours of your appointment.
3) Make a ProctorU account. Click here to create your ProctorU account. The name of the exam is "UCR MAE - math placement exam '24-'25". The term should be "MAE Term".
4) Schedule an appointment with ProctorU to take a proctored assessment. Your appointment must be created at least 72 hours before you take the assessment.
5) Once you take the exam proctored, that is your placement. If you are happy with your placement, then you are done.
6) If you would like to take one more proctored attempt, be sure to do the following:
- Shedule another appointment with ProctorU to take another proctored attempt.
- Be sure to schedule at least 72 hours in advance.
- Complete 3 more hours of prep in ALEKS PPL in order to unlock the last attempt.
- You must unlock the next attempt BEFORE your appointment time.
- The proctor cannot unlock it for you.
7) The highest score of the 2 proctored attempts will be used for placement.
IMPORTANT: Students that place into Math 3 on the first attempt are strongly encouraged to take a second attempt in order to improve their placement.
