NAVIGATING MATH TEST

Navigating the math portion of the COMPASS placement test is fairly simple.  Below are the steps you will follow.

  • The program asks a question, then gives you four multiple choice answers.
  • To choose your answer, click on A, B, C, or D.
  • If you want to change your answer, simply click on a different letter.
  • When you are sure of your answer and do not want to make any changes, click on "Go On."
  • However, once you have clicked on "Go On", you cannot go back and change anything.
  • Do not double click on answers.

Before your math test, you will do a computer tutorial showing you how to navigate the test.  Below is a screen shot of that tutorial.
