Re: Test score question

Hi Joe,

 

It has been a little diffuse on our campus as well. Testing and placement is housed in our Student Support Center. They are coordinating the bulk of the effort to set up the new tests and working with faculty to determine the cut scores. I put the assignments below.

Good afternoon!

As we tackle the slew of changes in ACT, SAT, and Accuplacer, we’re discovering that responsibility for addressing these changes is a bit diffuse. Do you folks have particular departments or offices that are in charge of things like:

-          Keeping current on upcoming changes in placement tests – Student Support Center

-          Requesting/building those changes in your SIS – Not sure who will request this yet, but I will build the changes.

-          Mapping those changes to courses/setting cut scores – Faculty will primarily do this, but we will probably assist the mapping

-          Communicating cut score changes to incoming and current students – Admissions and Student Support Center


Thanks a bunch for your collective wisdom here!
