<p>I thought this difference in placement was interesteing.
Older daughter attended private college, although she considered attending a community college for their graphic design program.
The community college does not use SAT scores or previous courses for placement, they have their own computer test which was not very ADD friendly.
I think she placed into intermediate algebra, wheras she had finished stats & pre calc in high school.
( they charged for the test)
But she wasnt accepted into the design program, so she entered Reed college instead where she took calculus.
( without a placement test)</p>
