Placement Testing

Placement Testing is a type of educational assessment, often implemented as a norm-referenced test, that is administered prior to instruction to determine a student’s appropriate initial placement in a course, program, or instructional sequence by estimating the student’s current level of proficiency relative to an established population or curricular progression.
