>Subject: placement exam survey

My department chair has asked me to gather information about the placement
exams other colleges use and why.  At Skidmore we currently use homegrown
exams but would like to change to a computer-based system.  After testing
the BYU exams for 3 semesters, some faculty are still not convinced that we
should adopt them.

I would be very grateful if you could take the time to email me directly at
[log in to unmask] with answers to the following:


1) Which placement exams do you use?


2) Why?



I will post results of this survey to the list.
