A description is provided of the experiences of three community colleges in implementing computerized adaptive testing to assess the entry-level skills of students. Chapter 1 provides background information on the project, which utilized The College Board's Computerized Placement Tests (CPT's), a battery of untimed, individualized tests of reading comprehension, sentence skills, arithmetic, and algebra. Chapter 2 contains William C. Ward's essay, "Using Microcomputers for Adaptive Testing," which reviews the advantages of computer-assisted testing, considers the differences between adaptive and diagnostic testing, and discusses the potential role of computers in test preparation, problem simulations, and other areas. The next three chapters describe the implementation and outcomes of the project at Central Piedmont Community College (North Carolina), Santa Fe Community College (New Mexico), and Miami-Dade Community College, South Campus (Florida). Finally, chapter 6 draws from the experiences of the three institutions to offer guidelines concerning planning; facility design; equipment and furnishings; scheduling and facility use; staffing and orientation; reporting, storing, and using test results; and evaluation.
