Entering students are required to take an examination in Mathematics to assist in initial placement in mathematics courses.
The test given is ACT's COMPASS exam. This exam is "computer-adaptive." This means that during the exam the next question asked depends on how well you have performed on the previous questions. This is intended to shorten the testing period by only asking just enough questions for the computer to evaluate your skills.
