Mathematics Placement Scheme
Download the Mathematics Placement Scheme. Find the student's Mathematics ACT and go down that column until you arrive at the row which best describes the student's high school mathematics background. The mathematics courses which would be appropriate for your student are listed by number in that cell. If a student did well in high school mathematics courses, then you might choose the higher numbered courses, otherwise it would be wise to choose the lower numbered courses.
