The Smarter Balanced Assessment is a standardized test distributed throughout 15 states and 1 U.S. territory to determine college course placement. For the 2015-2016 test, Radford students scored higher in mathematics than the state average by 5 percent. However, 35 percent did not meet the standard, 29 percent nearly met, 26 percent met, and 10 percent exceeded. 35 percent of students who did not meet the standard are more likely to be placed in remedial college mathematics courses, and the 29 percent that nearly met may be placed in introductory college mathematics courses.
