We would like to come up with some sort of "pre-test" to act as a filter
to give us some sort of indication of which course might be best for them,
or what "skills" are needed for honors vs regular. We don't want kids to
be in honors and then feel overwhelmed after the first few weeks. Getting
into another course can mess with their schedules or be impossible to do.
The math part of a pre-test is relatively easy. I can test their
algebra/trig skills.
However, most physics problems are word problems, and
these questions are harder to design since the students enrolling would
have no formal training in the subject.
