Basic Skills Assessment (COMPASS)

Links to Sample Questions and Information

You may download PDF versions of additional sample questions for COMPASS placement measures. Each file includes answers to all the sample questions.

COMPASS testing is required for many MTC academic programs, and it is an essential tool for achieving student success.

These evaluations are designed to test students in three academic areas (writing, reading, and numerical skills) and suggest initial English and/or math courses that are appropriate for the demonstrated academic skill level. In this way, students are not placed in a course that is above their abilities or a ‘‘rehash’’ of skills they have already mastered.

COMPASS testing is free and conducted in the Student Resource Center (TEC 183 - click for map). The procedure can take up to two hours, so students are encouraged to drop by and discuss testing times and requirements with SRC staff.

Students are encouraged to complete COMPASS testing as early in the advising/registration process as possible to ensure placement in appropriate classes.
