Abstract

COMPASS is a comprehensive new computerized placement and diagnostic testing system from ACT that helps place students into appropriate courses.

More than a series of tests on a network of microcomputers, COMPASS is a course placement and diagnostic assessment system. The integrated software package provides retention, advising, demographic, reporting, research, and data management capabilities.

COMPASS measures students' mathematics, reading, and writing skills on demand and reports results immediately; this can be a real benefit in placement and advising situations. Tests and reporting features can be customized.
