areas such as Reading, Writing, Math, and English as a Second
Language.
Assessment
tests are given several times throughout the year, but you
can only take the test once per year. Assessment , along with
advisement and orientation, using Asset or COMPASS, takes
approximately 3-1/2 hours, and includes receiving results.

| Math Center Backup Placement -Second/Last
Chance |
| If you did not receive the required
score to get into the class you desire, you can schedule and
take a backup placement exam in the Math Learning Center. You
can only take this exam once a year, so it is recommended that
you review
the study material before taking the exam. |
Math Learning Center Location: E-2
- Call or Visit the Math
Learning Center to Schedule an appointment.
Instructions:
- Visit the Math Learning Center to review study material.
- You must bring valid picture identification. (Example:
PIC, Driver’s License, Military ID, etc.) You will NOT
be allowed to take the exam without verifiable identification.
- Know the class you are currently placed in and the class
you would like to be placed in.

- The Backup Placement Test is a computerized, multiple-choice
test.
- There is no time limit. However, you will have to finish
the test before the Center closes that day.

be able to take this test again for another year. Without any
review, most likely you will be placed into the same level or
lower and you will not be able to take the test over for a year.
- If you need additional help, please consult a textbook
at the appropriate level.
- Depending on your studying, the questions may or may
not look similar to the ones on the study guide.
