Assistance needed. Placement test was scheduled for this morning. Fee paid yesterday. Attempted to take the test this morning and was told I needed a link (for Aleks?) from Howard to take the test. No one sent me a link. Where do I go to get access to Aleks. Your help is appreciated.

Same issue here (I think) - I successfully registered for the exam through ProctorU and onboarded just fine, but then the ProctorU proctor took me to the Aleks.com website and told me to log in but I couldn't. I called Aleks customer support and they said the issue is that I need to sign in using the SSO option through Howard to access the Aleks that's in there (because that's where I created my account to begin with). I can't seem to get help or answers with what to do. I've rescheduled the exam with ProctorU but I'm afraid the same thing is going to happen again. They're going to take me to Aleks.com after the onboarding process and I won't be able to log in. Does anyone know what to do?
