At our institution we require our students who are registering for their first semester of chemistry take an assessment test so that they can be better advised on which class will be the most beneficial for them.  We offer students three choices: the traditional first semester general chemistry course, the traditional first semester general chemistry course with a concurrent tutorial and a preparatory general chemistry course.  This is an account of how well our assessment test identifies the path which will be the most successful for each student and if those who take the preparatory course are adequately prepared to pass the traditional first semester general chemistry course.
