In my experience, when a student has difficulty with an introductory statistics class, the problem is more often related to problems with logical reasoning than with mathematics preparation. It should not be too difficult to find an instrument to measure logical reasoning. Among my graduate students in Psychology, the analytic score on the GRE has been a better predictor of their performance than their scores on the verbal and math sections of the GRE have been.

The tests that I am familiar with are more suited to placing students in algebra, calculus, or other math courses. What I am looking for would be a test that is geared specifically toward statistics. Thanks for the help.
