What happens in ALEKS when my student completely masters everything in the course she or he is in?

ALEKS has two ways of measuring a student's knowledge: by Knowledge Checks, and by progress made in the Learning Path. Generally, Knowledge Checks are a more precise way of determining what a student really knows. So, the first time a student fills in the pie to 100% completion, an automatic Knowledge Check will be triggered to check the student's knowledge of the course contents. After the Knowledge Check, the student will be able to work again through the material where extra work was needed. If this was 20 items or fewer, in most cases there will be no further Knowledge Checks, and when the student hits 100% the second time, he or she has completed the course. If it was more than 20 items, there may be additional Knowledge Checks along the way before the student is done. ALEKS is trying to make sure that the student does have substantial mastery of the course materials, without causing undue frustration.

When the student has completed the course, there will be a congratulatory message, and the student's pie will remain 100% full. The teacher can now move the student to a new (more advanced) ALEKS course.
