PLACEMENT ASSESSMENT INSTRUCTIONS FOR
STANFORD READING
Based on your ACT reading subscore, you have placed into a developmental reading course at Kent State. This reading course will help
you progress to the skill level required for college in comprehension, vocabulary, and study strategies so that you will be more successful
in future courses.
Before you begin your developmental reading course, you are required to take a second reading test, the Stanford Diagnostic Reading
Test, to confirm that you are in the correct reading course or if reading courses are appropriate for you at all. If you demonstrate college
reading proficiency on this test before the start of the semester, we will waive your developmental reading requirement.
You must complete the Stanford Diagnostic
Reading Test before you attend First Step.
