COMPASS Exam
COMPASS is the college placement test. The Office of Testing Services is located in the Academic Building 500 (Room 217). COMPASS is a computer-adaptive college placement test. The three-part Exam (Math, Reading, and Writing) generally takes a minimum of two and a half hours to complete; however, any one part of the Exam may take up to 90 minutes. You must contact the Office of Testing Services to schedule a time to take the COMPASS Exam.
Beginning July 1, 2011, all students are required to pay a $20 fee for the COMPASS Exam before taking the Exam.
Your performance on this Exam will determine your ability or inability to take college level courses.
The passing scores on the COMPASS Exam are:
- Math-37
- Reading-74
- English- 60
You may retest if you are within a 5 point range of the passing score. Retesting is permitted only once and only within two weeks of the original Exam. An additional $20 fee is required for the retest.
