Abstract
The ALEKS computer system, well-known on the American con-
tinent as an individualized teaching tool and placement test into a series of
high school and college level courses, was implemented by the Mathematics
Department of Nazarbayev University, most likely as the frst experiment of
this sort in the heart of Asia. This paper summarizes the results of the placement testing of several hundreds of Kazakhstani students passing from the
preparatory study focused on biology, economics or engineering mathematics
to the typical curriculum of science departments at the School of Science and
Technology of Nazarbayev University.
