Recommended Starting Levels according to Reading for Understanding Placement Tests by McGraw-Hill
It is suggested that you monitor your progress as you read the cards. If you find that your scores are consistently high, then you may want to jump to a higher level. Likewise, if you find that your scores tend to be in the seventy percent range or lower, you may want to go back a few levels.
