Find the UW-Madison Math Placement from Scores

Description

Returns a vector of either placement levels or placement text. This will use either the current algorithm or the pre-2017 algorithm by setting MFND_COMPONENT_ID.

Usage

  uw.math.placement(MFND, AALG, TAG, MFND_COMPONENT_ID = "MFND",  
                              output_type = "numeric")

Arguments

MFND	Numeric Foundation score
AALG	Numeric Algebra score
TAG	Numeric Trigonometry score
MFND_COMPONENT_ID	The TEST_COMPONENT_ID for the Foundation score. Is a character string. This sets the algorithm used for placement. This should be "MFND" (default) for the current algorithm or "MBSC" for the pre-2017 algorithm.
output_type	The type of output, either "numeric" or "text". This defaults to numeric.

Details

This function returns either a numeric representation or text of UW-Madison Placement scores. For the numeric represenation, it returns 1-8 (lower number means lower placement) that refers to the boxes in the grid of the UW-Madison Math Placement Algorithm. The text output produces long strings that suck to use, so it is not recommended. It is provided primarily for reference.

Examples

  uw.math.placement(c(450, 670, 555), c(598, 469, 344), c(722, 358, 658))
  uw.math.placement(MFND = c(450, 670, 555), AALG = c(598, 469, 344), TAG = c(722, 358, 658), MFND_COMPONENT_ID = c("MFND", "MBSC", "MBSC"))
