✍️ Sample ALEKS Questions & Answers
1. Solve: (x + 3)/2 = 5
✓ x = 7
Multiplying both sides by 2 gives x + 3 = 10, and subtracting 3 gives x = 7.
2. If 5x = 35, what is x?
✓ 7
Dividing both sides by 5 gives x = 35 ÷ 5 = 7.
3. Order these from least to greatest: 0.6, 3/5, 0.59, 5/8
✓ 0.59, 0.6, 3/5, 5/8
Converting all to decimals: 0.59, 0.60, 0.60, 0.625 — so the order is 0.59, 0.6, 3/5, 5/8.
4. What is the vertex of the parabola y = (x - 3)² + 2?
✓ (3, 2)
In vertex form y = (x - h)² + k, the vertex is (h, k) = (3, 2).
5. What is the slope of the line y = 3x − 5?
✓ 3
In slope-intercept form y = mx + b, the coefficient of x is the slope, so m = 3.
6. What is the area of a circle with diameter 10? (Use π ≈ 3.14)
✓ 78.5
Radius = 5, Area = πr² = 3.14 × 25 = 78.5.

What Practice Test Geeks adds beyond an AI chat for ALEKS
An AI chatbot can quiz you, but it can't reproduce the exam conditions or keep your record. Here you get:
- A timed, full-length ALEKS mock exam — 28 questions in 90 minutes with a 61% pass mark, modeled on the official exam's question count and time limit, followed by a score report broken down by exam domain.
- A fixed ALEKS question bank: the same test every attempt, so your score is comparable from one try to the next instead of changing with every regenerated quiz.
- Progress saved on your device: completed tests, scores and missed questions stay in My Progress, so you can retake only what you got wrong.
- A printable ALEKS cheat sheet you can print or save as a PDF.
- ALEKS flashcards built from the same question bank.
- Free ALEKS practice tests with the correct answer shown after each question.
