What skills are assessed by the COMPASS math tests?
The COMPASS test assesses a variety of skills and in most cases students will see 12-15 questions for the content area they work on. Skills include: Pre-Algebra: Operations with Integers; Operations with Fractions; Operations with Decimals; Positive Integer Exponents, Square Roots, and Scientific Notation; Ratios and Proportions; Percentages; Averages (Means, Medians, and Modes). Algebra: Substituting Values into Algebraic Expressions; Setting Up Equations for Given Situations; Basic Operations with Polynomials; Factoring Polynomials; Linear Equations in One Variable; Exponents and Radicals; Rational Expressions; Linear Equations in Two Variables. College Algebra: Functions; Exponents; Complex Numbers; Arithmetic and Geometric Sequences and Series; Matrices (basic operations, equations, and determinants). Geometry: Triangles (perimeter, area, Pythagorean theorem, etc.); Circles (perimeter, area, arcs, etc.); Angles (supplementary, complementary, adjacent, vertical, etc.); Rectangles (p
