As such, postsecondary institutions administer tests to incoming students for placement into courses of the appropriate difficulty level. However, research on the efficacy of placement testing has revealed mixed results. Accordingly, the purpose of this study was to metaanalyze a large sample of ACCUPLACER® placement studies in order to estimate its true validity of placement decisions by correcting for statistical artifacts. Data included all ACCUPLACER placement validity studies completed through the Admitted Class Evaluation Service™ (ACES™) between 2001 and 2006. Forty-seven studies were examined, which comprised data from 17 unique institutions.
