Facts about Placement Tests
State law requires that the college use the score you receive on a placement test to place you in specific math and/or English classes.
They are NOT pass/fail. It is simply scored to see which classes would be most helpful to you in your college career.
They will determine whether you begin taking…
-
Classes with credit that will apply to your degree, or
-
“Refresher courses” to build your skills.
Both the ACCUPLACER and COMPASS tests are computerized and adaptive.
-
If you answer a question correctly, the computer will give you a similar or harder question.
-
If you answer a question incorrectly, the computer will give you an easier question.
Students who have not practiced grammar, factoring, or computation are often placed into development or “refresher” courses.
