Conduct Institutional Validity Studies

The Admitted Class Evaluation Service™ (ACES™) helps colleges and universities conduct validity research on College Board assessments used in admissions and placement. With this free online service, you can validate your policies in a variety of ways:

• Implement predictive models for admissions, placement, advising, and retention practices and initiatives
• Evaluate the relative and combined value of the predictors used in admissions and placement decisions
• Examine relationships between predictors (like the SAT) and outcomes (like GPA, retention, completion) by subgroups of interest
• Update credit or placement policies based on institutional data
• Analyze possible new predictors to use in admissions or placement decisions
• Understand how or if relationships between predictors and outcomes change over time
