Passing the COMPASS Test indicates less than a 9th year mathematics level, a level of mathematics not quite through elementary algebra. Baruch College requires its students have a much greater mastery of algebra, at least through an intermediate algebra level. If your score on the COMPASS Test did not indicate this level, you were not placed directly into a college level mathematics course.
