Education Commission of the States
Multiple measures provide additional evidence a student may present, beyond an assessment score, that can indicate college readiness. This resource provides data on multiple measures that may be allowed to determine placement using the following categories: (1) other standardized and normed exams, or locally developed exams; (2) high school academic performance (e.g., GPA, transcript, coursework); (3) college academic performance (e.g., PLA credit, GPA, transcript, coursework); (4) noncognitive factors (e.g., motivation, attitude, emotions); and (5) work experience. No policy identified" does not indicate that multiple measures are prohibited.
