Math Placement Test Prep

The COMPASS math placement test is required for incoming students at many colleges. Students taking the test often score poorly because they are unprepared, with the result that they have to retake math they thought they'd finished with long ago. 


How can you make sure this isn't you? COMPASS publishes study guides, here and here, with sample questions and answers, -- but no explanation. 


Reading the answer -- the letter A, B, C, D, or E -- may not help you much when what you need is to see how to get there. This booklet, designed for COMPASS math placement test prep, explains the answers to all the questions on each section of the COMPASS math placement test: pre-algebra, algebra, college algebra, geometry, and trigonometry.
