338: Offer an overview packet of what the tests are about and why. Provide information inwhich the prospective student can use to refresh his or her memory on the testablesubjects.339: No suggestions347: The test is fair. The did what is expected.357: i found that the work packet that they provided to study for the test. On the math part itdid not have all what to expect on that test and there was a lot harder question on the testthat required formals and if they were in the study guide on what to be studing it wouldbe helpful363: They explained me everything about the scrores I got and what to do next.It was OK also.364: yes365: Inform students that if they do not acheive a high enough score then they will have to payfor classes that do not count as college credits. This might allow the prospective studentto study up on his/her math or english skills before taking the test, giving them a betteroppurtunity to do well and not having to take useless classes.373: Both the student and HCC would benefit by allowing the student retake the test. I wasshort by a few points and according to HCCs guidelines, I must to take pre-requisiteclasses. I feel these prerequisite classes have been a waste of money and time. I did takethe Reading class and passed with an 'A'. I taking Algrebra and am doing quite well HadI been given the opportunity to retest, I know my score would have been higher and Iwould definiately be on course towards my degree.375: i would have liked to know exactly what i got wrong. it would have helped in theprerequiste maths i had to take.377: more polite and smile!378: I was not clear on what classed and how many classed I would need to take to actuallybegin earning credits that would count towards my degree. Again, I think bettercommunication and training would help the staff and students.380: a person should be able to take it more than once, not everyone does well the first time.382: The staff should help students to understand the results in details.For example,they cantell the student that the same test can be retaken after 6 months if the student wants betterscore so that the student does not have to take extra classes due to the lowscore,especially the score is on the border line.399: Be more informative405: Sometime when student takes the entry-level test first time, they get confused and do notdo well on the test. Therefore, I think HCC should give them another chance to improvetheir score.411: no one explained any thing they just handed me a paper423: Better staff450: Make sure the people working aren't rude and maybe explain just a tad more.453: Actually put what is going to be on the test on the study guide. (You would be suprisedhow many more people would pass.)505: none506: study guides do not give the proper study information... very little of the study guide isuseful for the items covered on test518: They should have given the students study guides for the CPT instead of just signingthem up.Student Satisfaction Survey 2007 – Q9: Entry Testing – Page 83
