| Annotation: | Caribou High School juniors aspiring to college and seniors, who have either received acceptance or desire to attend the University of Maine at Presque Isle, have a unique opportunity to take early college placement testing in writing and math. College placement tests measure students' academic readiness for entry-level college courses and, wherever they choose to attend college, students inevitably face at least one or two such tests. Those who do not meet proficiency standards on these tests are placed into foundational or developmental courses, which are usually extra, required courses that do not count toward a degree. The tests will be scored collaboratively by university professors and high school teachers. This cooperation further enhances the dialogue between high school and college instructors and will give both parties a better insight as to how they can help the transition process. |
