Compass Placement Testing

The COMPASS test is used to place you in the proper classes at Oakland Community College.  This computerized assessment will provide your English and math placement.

• You will determine your level of proficiency from the computer choices and then select where you will begin.
• COMPASS will adjust the questions you are given based on your successful answers.
  • For example, if your response is correct, you will be given a more difficult question.

The combined English and math test requires up to 2.5 hours to complete.
