Thinkwell pre-calc

[hornblower]

So, continuing our quest for a good fit precalc for ds, we're now looking at Thinkwell. 

In searching the boards, I saw this post from Jann in Tx http://forums.welltrainedmind.com/topic/367652-thinkwell-algebra-2-vs-pre-calculus/?p=3800978

in which she says "It is a SUPPLEMENT... not enough practice problems for the average student. The videos cover all of the bases--but it really lacks the practice students need. "

If you were going to add in extra practice, what would you use? Is there a way to use Aleks to add additional problems to the Thinkwell and ensure adequate grasp of material?

FWIW, my DS thinks there's too much practice, and I have to force the issue to get him to do all the problems.

How many questions are there if you know offhand? 

this kid is coming off TT Alg 2 so he's used to lesson + about 5 practice problems related specifically to the lesson & 20-25 problems which are a mix of current & previous topics. He's a good but slow worker & that's about his daily limit for math.

Each video lesson has about 12 problems, but each day's work (according to the 36-week syllabus) has 2 or 3 lessons -- so it ends up being 24-36 problems in addition to practice problems in the lessons.
