Computerized Adaptive Placement Assessment and
Support System
After completing the COMPASS placement test, you
should receive a COMPASS/ESL Standard Individual
Report. The COMPASS testing program interprets your
responses and places you according to the ranges of
scores below. The scores are not "cut-off" scores; they
do not indicate how close you were to the next
level. Your Standard Individual Report will tell you
the courses you are required to take.
Your advisor will
help you enroll in the appropriate courses.
