Unreferenced date February 2007 In many countries, including the United States , it is not unusual for students to take a placement exam in a subject such as mathematics upon entering middle school middle or high school to determine what level of classes they should take. Typically, students are then placed on a tracking system determined by the class they are approved to enter for example, if a student takes music theory to students whose knowledge in that area is more advanced than what a typical entering freshman s would be in those subjects. Scores on such exams as the Advanced Placement , International Baccalaureate , SAT II SAT Subject Tests , and A Level British Advanced Level exams can also serve as placement tests for students in certain subjects, where a high score would enable them to get into a more advanced class than what a freshman would normally take.
