English Native Speaker Placement Test

COMPASS is the primary tool for placement testing for ENG 111 (College Composition) and for basic skills assessment in reading and writing. The COMPASS English placement test has two un timed parts: Reading and Writing. The test is also used to place students in courses consistent with their basic skills.

Students must achieve a minimum score to be placed into ENG 1 and ENG 4 . Students scoring below the minimum on the reading test and/or on the writing test should go to the Counseling Center to discuss other options.
