COMPASS (Course Placement Tests)

The COMPASS (Course Placement Tests-CPT) assess students’ skill level in the areas of reading comprehension, writing skills and mathematics. Results help determine appropriate placement for enrollment.

COMPASS results can also be used to remove high school deficiencies and to meet admission requirements.

COMPASS is not timed and is administered on a microcomputer. Students do not need any computer experience to take the tests. The scores are available immediately after testing is completed.  A counselor/advisor will discuss the results and provide students with an interpretation of the scores.  COMPASS is not a pass/fail examination; it is a tool used to determine present skill levels.

Fee:  None

 Testing Sites:     Any TCC campus
