In response to an unprecedented partnership between the CSU and California's K-12 schools, nearly 40 percent of 11th grade students this year volunteered to take tests to assess readiness in college-level mathematics and English at the California State University, reported the CSU Office of the Chancellor recently. Among those tested in math, 55 percent scored high enough for college-level work; in English, 22 percent were classified as ready to take college-level English courses.
