This guidance is based on professionally responsible practice and upholds the standards of educational measurement. Additionally, when decisions are based on a combination of ACCUPLACER test scores and other information, sound measurement principles are closely observed.  \nIn its Code of Professional Responsibilities in Educational Measurement (Section 6.7), the National Council on Measurement in Education (1995) states that  \nPersons who interpret, use, and communicate assessment results have a professional responsibility to use multiple sources and types of relevant information about persons or programs whenever possible in making educational decisions.  \nAs the publisher of ACCUPLACER, the College Board’s commitment to our professional responsibility regarding the use of additional information is manifested in the Guidelines on the Uses of College Board Test Scores and Related Data (College Board, 2011, pp. 6-7) . These Guidelines state that “test scores are useful as one means of predicting academic performance in college when considered with other relevant information.” The College Board’s commitment to our professional responsibility also allows us to uphold the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing (American Educational Research Association, American Psychological Association, & National Council on Measurement in Education, 2014, Standard 12. 10) which asserts that:  \nIn educational settings, a decision or characterization that will have major impact on a student should take into consideration not just scores from a single test but other relevant information.  \nLike with any assessment, ACCUPLACER test scores are not perfectly precise and should not be treated as though they are. They are useful as means of predicting performance in college courses when considered with other relevant information. That is to say that the College Board does not only support using additional relevant information when ACCUPLACER test scores are used for college placement, it also does not support the use of ACCUPLACER scores as the only basis for placement decisions.  \nMultiple Factors  \nWhen buying a car, one must not consider the price alone. Price may be used as a starting point, but one also must consider quality, total cost of ownership, reliability, and so forth. These are all relevant information about a car when considering whether the car suits you. These are factors to base our decision on when buying a car.  \nBy the same token, multiple factors should be used when making high-stakes decisions such as college placement. These include high school records, life skills, passion for achieving goals, student’s economic situation, etc. For the intent of this document, we will use the definitions discussed in the rest of this section.  \nDefinitions  \nA factor is defined as one of the elements contributing to a particular result or situation  \n( [http://www.dictionary.com/browse/factor?s=t](http://www.dictionary.com/browse/factor?s=t)) .
