What does it take to become successful? For this woman, it took passing the ALS and continuing her studies to become a Cum Laude. ALS is the Alternative Learning System Accreditation and Equivalency Test. It’s a test to evaluate a student’s competence so the student can move forward to the next education level. ALS passers can skip the educational years if they’re lucky. This is perfect for students who repeated in school or ones that didn’t go to school at the right age. Students who pass can enroll in the educational level ALS approved for them.
