Alamance Community College offers the COMPASS Test on-site and free-of-charge.  The COMPASS is an untimed and adaptive computer-based test.  It is not a pass or fail exam.  Although the entire test is on the computer, only limited computer skills are required to complete the test.

 

Your COMPASS test scores will determine if you need to take one or more of the following refresher courses before beginning college level English and Math:

 

Reading Test	Writing Test	Math Test
RED 070	ENG 070	MAT 060
RED 080	ENG 080	MAT 070
RED 090	ENG 090	MAT 080

 

In addition to determining your Math and English course placement, your placement test scores serve as prerequisites for most of the general curriculum courses offered at ACC.

 

Please take a moment to browse the FAQ and the Test Preparation & Resources page.  You will find some helpful information here as you prepare to take the placement test.  If you have additional questions or need further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.

 

We look forward to meeting you.

Thank you for choosing ACC!
