English Assessment

We use COMPASS, a computerized assessment to help place you into English courses. It consists of two parts: Reading and Writing. The Reading portion assesses comprehension and reasoning. The Writing portion assesses knowledge of  basic grammar and usage, punctuation and sentence structure. Both sections are un-timed and answers are multiple-choice.

We strongly recommend that you prepare for your English assessment to avoid being placed in classes you may not need.
