I thought I was fully prepared for a college-level education until I took the college placement test. I found that some high school programs did not improve my learning skills or help me gain the knowledge I needed to succeed in college-level courses. When I took the college placement test at Seminole State College, it showed that I needed to take some remedial courses to help me gain the knowledge I need to do well in college-level courses. When I read the article on “Remedial Education: An Area in Need of Scholar-Practitioners” it changed my opinion on remedial education. Everyone, including adults who have never taken the ACT, SAT or other tests to see if they are academically ready for college-level courses, should take remedial courses to help them better prepare for college courses. I felt embarrassed because I had to take remedial courses, but there is nothing to be ashamed of because it ultimately helps me increase my knowledge on some courses required for the college level
