Robinson, Shawn H.; Kubala, Thomas S.

Visions: The Journal of Applied Research for the Florida Association of Community Colleges, v2 n2 p45-48 Sum 1999

Describes a study undertaken to increase the effectiveness of student-placement systems in community colleges. Found that the use of student characteristics, such as gender, ethnicity, prior exposure to course work, and enrollment in a study-skills course, was more useful than the SAT, ACT, and College Placement Test in predicting student achievement in three math courses studied.
