Under Nevada State College's old math placement policy, incoming students took the Accuplacer exam during the summer prior to new-student orientation. Historically, about 75% of those students placed into remedial math based on their Accuplacer scores or their scores from a previous SAT or ACT examination.

In 2016, the institution began using EdReady as an initial placement diagnostic and as an independent-study remediation option for students to use before they arrived on campus. This move gave students the ability to increase their EdReady scores—and, thus, their math placement—enabling a significant number of students to avoid taking a remedial math course.

• In one year, the placement of new students into-college level math courses increased from 24% to 42%—a significant win for students and Nevada State College.
• Since the study, Nevada State College has adopted EdReady as a multiple measure.
