Preparing for this IMPORTANT test will make a difference in:

  • How many English and math classes you will have to take
  • What other classes you may take
  • How soon you may start taking classes in your major
  • How much time and money it will cost to get your degree

Therefore, before taking the COMPASS placement test:

  • Do learn as much as you can about the test.
  • Do review math problems.
  • Do read.
  • Do review writing rules.
  • Do learn about KCC's math and English requirements and pre-requisites.

You can do this on your own, or you can join fellow students at some of the non-credit workshops, which are offered several times during the year. Workshops include:

  • Exploring the COMPASS Test
    You will review test-taking skills, learn about KCC's math and English programs, and take a sample COMPASS test.
  • Five of the Most Common Grammar and Five of the Most Common Punctuation Errors
    You will learn about these and what to do about them.
  • Math Brush Up
    You will work at your own pace to improve your skills using an Internet-based program. After taking a diagnostic test, you may work on campus, at home, or anywhere you can access the Internet.
