3. Rationale for EdReady Placement Dec 1, 2016 Compass Ends New Accuplacer contract would not be in place until after start of Spring 2017 semester Large number of students wait until near the start of semester to do their placement testing Chattanooga State (ChSCC) already used EdReady MATH for ACT and Compass Prep

13. Placement Process

14. Learning Support Process Student receives alert that placement testing/retesting is needed Student contacts Learning Support: Learning Support staff conducts student interview (in person or remote) Student s current placement What placement means in terms of registration, class schedule, progress toward degree How the student can improve placement Issue test admission ticket assigning appropriate tests for Testing Center to administer Review our EdReady Score Building handout Student goes to Testing Center for EdReady diagnostic Learning Center computer lab is available for post-test interviews & assistance with Study Path Learning Support staff monitor EdReady scores and update student records in our SIS system This is to be integrated and will become real time

15. Test Admission Ticket

16. Testing Center Process Upon arrival at the Testing Center Students: Present their ID and completed test ticket from Learning Support Are assigned a locker for all non-test related items Receive the EdReady Score sheet, paper, pencil and the test ticket Students enter the testing room (no calculators) The EdReady website https://chattanoogastatetesting.edready.org/home is up and ready on the computers Students: Create their accounts Record the required information on their EdReady Score Sheet Proctors activate their accounts

17. Testing Center Process Proctor explains: How EdReady works and that it is: An untimed diagnostic A low stakes assessment Used to improve their placement How to: Begin the initial diagnostic Increase their score through the study path Students take at least one diagnostic and then Exit the testing room Hand in their scratch paper Retrieve their items from their locker Testing Center Staff Check student s score sheet is correct Recommend they return to Learning Support for Debriefing Demo on navigating the study path
