Practicing for College Placement Exams: Preparing for Placement and Exit Tests.

Many colleges require entering freshmen students to take placement tests. These are designed to insure that the student is assigned to academic classes appropriate to his or her level of preparation. Some students are unprepared for this test and perform below their actual achievement level. Once in a developmental course, the student must take the exam again to exit this level. Our software is designed to help the student feel confident that he or she can successfully test into freshman-level courses.

This program provides practice in a similar testing format – reduces test-taking anxiety – promotes mastery of the basic concepts covered on the tests.

• Developed and tested in college learning centers.
• Updated based on actual usage by college students and instructor feedback
