Requesting Your Placement Validity Study

To request a Placement Validity Study, you will complete simple forms and submit them online. It takes just a few minutes and consists of the following basic steps:

  • Provide information about you and your college
  • Decide which placement process you wish to evaluate
  • Specify course(s) for analysis
  • Specify test scores or grades to be analyzed as predictors
  • Indicate prerequisite course (for AP studies only)

Note: You may analyze up to five separate courses in your Placement Validity Study. For each course, you will begin by specifying the tests, predictors, you are most interested in evaluating. You may use a single predictor, or up to five predictors, for a single course. There are some restrictions on the combinations of predictors that may be selected.
