COMPASS TEST DATES
SUMMER 2012
The Alabama State Board of Education requires all entering students who enroll for more than four credit hours or eight weekly
contact hours per semester to be assessed using the COMPASS Computerized Placement Test. The COMPASS results are used
to determine student placement in English, reading and mathematics courses. Scheduled placement test dates and times are
listed below. Because of limited seating in the testing sessions, students are encouraged to take the placement test at their
earliest convenience.
