Most community college students take in-person placement tests in English or math to determine whether they are required to take developmental (or remedial) courses, which are prerequisites for the college-level courses in those subjects. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has forced colleges to close their campuses, making in-person testing impossible. Some colleges are offering remote placement testing for students applying to enroll this summer and fall. But other colleges may not be able to surmount the technical obstacles involved in remote testing in the short term, leaving students and advisers without the test scores they would usually use to make course-placement decisions. Even before the pandemic, many colleges were using multiple pieces of information to determine course placement, rather than a single test score. Research on these multiple measures assessment placement systems offers three important insights that might help colleges navigate their new circumstances today.
