Add Placement Test Examples: Comment to Higher Ed for Higher Standards

It is wonderful to see attention on this important national issue
It would be great to have samples of the placement tests on your web site:
http://media.collegeboard.com/digitalServices/pdf/accuplacer/accuplacer-sample-questions-for-students.pdf
http://www.act.org/compass/sample/index.html
These contain the content that students need to know especially at the community college level.
Please consider adding links on your web site to these important documents  so that stakeholders can familiarize themselves with the content.  Access to these examples could benefit students, teachers, parents and society at large.
