Thinking about attending Community College?
You will need to take the COMPASS placement test to determine Math, Reading and Writing placement.
Students should consider taking the COMPASS during their senior year. They may want to take the test more than once in order to achieve a higher score in Math, for example. So, taking it early on will let a student know if he/she will be required to do that. The test is good for 2 years
Check with the Community College regarding their testing schedule.
