I should clarify my response below. We do use Compass testing for initial placement, but in our 2 lowest level Reading classes, our Developmental Coordinator (who is also the primary instructor for those classes) also administers the Nelson-Denny assessment on the first day to better pinpoint skill levels. Any adjustments in placement can then be made at that time. And as I state below, she uses the Nelson-Denny again as the exit level test. I do agree with the statement posted earlier that the same instrument should be used for both pre and post testing. Have a great weekend all!

We also use the Compass test as our placement instrument.

We would like to administer an exit level test at the end of each course. Any suggestions?
