| Summary: | The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between Mathematics placement test scores and
students’ final scores in Mathematics course. Questions have been raised before regarding the importance
of Mathematics placement tests in placing students into the most suitable Mathematics course. The study
examines the importance of the Mathematics placement test and its significant contribution to students’
performance in Mathematics course taken at their pre university level of studies. Mathematics placement
tests undeniably fulfil their purpose of providing preliminary Mathematics course placement
recommendations, encouraging students to register themselves for the most appropriate Mathematics
course based on their competence, thus helping students to perform better. The study will focus on the 86
students enrolled in Monash University Foundation Year (MUFY) at Sunway College Johor Bahru in 2013.
The correlation and regression between their Mathematics placement test scores and their final marks in
the MUFY Mathematics Unit 1 (equivalent to year 12 Mathematics) and MUFY Fundamental Mathematics
Unit 1 (equivalent to year 11 Mathematics) is analysed. |
