Thanks Questions. I have the course outlines side-by-side and am trying to cross-reference. I have a call into EPGY to get a little more detail directly from them, as I recall reading discussions involving Melissa's group that the instructor has some control over the pacing.

Our son is very keen on ALEKS' approach to pacing, in that he only needs 3-in-a-row (or whatever) to move to the next item, and that as long as he continues to demonstrate understanding at assessment (as well as our own created worksheets) he doesn't have to revisit topics in any detail.

If EPGY is radically different and requires tons of repetition on stuff he already knows, I'll have to start sleeping with one eye open lest he choose to exact his revenge on me.
