Math Placement

During Priority Registration Day, you'll take the COMPASS Math Placement Test to ensure you begin your first year at the appropriate math level.

Your advisor will review your COMPASS score before meeting with you during Priority Registration Day. The test takes between 30 and 60 minutes.

You can use a calculator, so bring one along. However, models with computer algebra systems are prohibited, including:

  • Casio CFX-9970G
  • Casio Algebra fx2.0
  • TI-89
  • TI-92

Next Steps

*

Students who review algebra concepts prior to taking COMPASS often achieve higher scores. We strongly recommend that you visit the COMPASS Website to review for the test.

For algebra review, try websites such as S.O.S Mathematics or Purplemath.

Once you're finished, head over to the Writing Assessment page.
