Women make up 59 percent of students who take advanced placement tests.
Most courses start on Monday, at which time a placement test is given.
If students are not required to take placement tests, they tend to avoid them.
In 2002, 5 states had statewide standard placement test cut scores.
Most have failed one or more of three placement tests set at about a 10th-grade level.
This placement test was to make sure only the best students were selected to the science programs.
The student will then take a placement test at the college.
A usual passing grade for the placement test is about a 80%.
It is not necessary for returning students to take the placement test at the beginning of next session.
