Abstract

ABSTRACT A test of algebra skills was developed and used in conjunction with math SAT scores to place students in freshman math courses. Correlations with final grades indicated that most students would be correctly placed, far more than would be the case using SAT scores alone. The test was used during the next college year with similarly good results.
