And to boot, some of our Adult programs used to add in the Math scores to find a total placement level score, (!!) before we finally stopped doing that. Pretty awful!! We knew this a while back but there seemed to be no hurry to make a change at our state level anyway. Perhaps it was because there was nothing else out there?
