COLLEGE PLACEMENT EXAM
The college placement exam, COMPASS, is a computerized placement exam that tests reading, writing, and math skills. COMPASS placement exam requirements are determined by either the SAT verbal and math scores or the ACT English and math scores. A combination of SAT and ACT scores is not used. Students who have both SAT and ACT scores may choose which test will determine COMPASS placement exam requirements.
