- Summary:
-
The purpose of this study was to determine the relative effectiveness of the College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB) Mathematics Achievement Test, Level I, as an instrument for placing students in beginning college mathematics courses. For this purppse it was compared with several other variables as predictors of success in the specific courses; passing was considered success in a course. The other variables gathered were: number of high school mathematics units; high school class rank (HSR); and the verbal, mathematics (SAT-M) and total scores of the CEEB Scholastic Aptitude Tests. The sample consisted of students in one of seven different beginning mathematics courses offered by Indiana University. Based on several multiple regression analyses, it was concluded that the combination of SAT-M and HSR was the most efficacious predictor of success. More specific results for particular courses and different combinations of predicotr variables are reported with complete statistical results provided in the appendix of this document. (JP)
