[edit] APS
This college used the APS placement test as an enrollment prerequisite in the early 1990's. But the school staff wouldn't tell the prospective student what APS stood for, if one were curious enough to ask. That sentiment entered into the actual curriculum, a student would be shuffled from one class to the next with no explanation. If the student's grades suffered for this, that would be regrettable, but still no definition of what APS stood for or what the student was being subjected to. "Stood for," as it has been replaced by the COMPASS test. A very inept handling of American education.
What does COMPASS mean? Don't ask!
What does this have to do with the American River College Black Chalks American College Testing Service deletion scandal? Don't ask! But at least ACT is easily defined; not so APS or SDCC itself.
And since California believes itself to be so proficient with placement/aptitude tests, what did SDCC have to do with the federal government shedding the 300-C Clerical Series tests? Another sweeping revision of American scholastic endeavors?
