Retest

Students may retake the COMPASS Placement Test if trying to improve their scores and course placement (as long as they are not already registered for classes in writing, math, or reading).

Students who wish to retest must wait at least 24 hours before starting their retest. The Testing Center strongly encourages all students planning to retest any part of the COMPASS Placement Test to study. Test preparation can be done by visiting these websites dedicated to helping students prepare for the test.
