Abstract	The study reported here deals with the problem of determining what testing device can best indicate a foreign student's readiness for satisfactory performance at the college level, especially in courses requiring a good command of reading and writing skills in English. The study considers several standard proficiency tests and devises a formula that compares the relationship of performance results on those tests with students' performance in college courses. Details of the study methodology as well as of comparison results are provided along with conclusions concerning the suitability of particular tests. (VM)
