Almost two-thirds of students entering a community college and a third of students entering a 4-year college lack basic math and writing skills, and they often find themselves placed in developmental or remedial courses in their first year of college. Unfortunately, students placed into remedial math and English courses often have poorer educational outcomes; their retention and degree completion rates lag behind those of the students who enter college ready for college-level work. Colleges and universities have recognized this problem, and many are taking steps to help students improve their academic preparation with the goal of reducing the need for remedial course-taking. In particular, many colleges, including Jacksonville State University (JSU), have implemented EdReady -- now offered through ACT as CollegeReady -- for this very purpose. Unlike traditional placement tests, CollegeReady is a low-stakes placement system. Students can log on to the system at any time from any location and work at their own pace. If their initial CollegeReady score falls below the institution's target score, students can view study options and follow a personalized learning path to fill gaps in knowledge and skills. Using this approach, many students raise their scores and avoid remediation. In partnership with JSU, ACT researchers examined the relationship between incoming students' initial and most recent EdReady math scores with course placement decisions and math course outcomes. Preliminary findings from this study suggest that CollegeReady can help students bolster their math preparation and be successful going directly into college-level courses.
