The first college mathematics course a student enrolls in is often affected by performance on a college mathematics placement test. Yet validity evidence of mathematics placement tests remains limited, even for nationally standardized placement tests, and when it is available usually consists of examining a student's subsequent performance in…

Peer reviewedBrooks, Sarah; Hartz, Mary A. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1978
The predictive ability of a mathematics test organized into a branching test for computer-interactive administration was investigated. Twenty-five blocks of five items were used in the branching. Each testee took 25 items, with each subsequent block being determined by prior performance. Results supported the branching technique. (JKS)

Lee, S.; Robinson, C. L. – Teaching Mathematics and Its Applications: An International Journal of the IMA, 2005
Diagnostic testing in mathematics has become a favoured tool at many universities. In this paper we report on a novel method of diagnostic testing which incorporates a paired question approach, with two questions being set on each of 20 different topics. It was introduced at Loughborough University for use with first year engineering students in…

Ward, William C.; And Others – 1986
The College Board Computerized Placement Tests are intended for use by two- and four-year colleges in determining whether entering students are prepared for college-level work in English, reading, and mathematics, or whether they need developmental studies. Seventeen colleges and universities participated in pilot testing of the College Board…
