READING AND WRITING ASSESSMENT How To Understand and Locate Your Assessment Scores You have just completed the assessment test portion of the matriculation process. You should use your assessment results along with the assistance of a counselor to help you enroll in the most appropriate math, reading, and English courses. Your assessment is only one measure of your skill level and you will be asked to consider other measures to aid you in your course selection. Some of the other measures that may be used include recency of high school graduation, English and math courses completed in high school, and whether you plan to enroll in a large number of units. To understand your English scores, locate your scores on the Reading and Writing Assessment Chart. Your scores will fall into a range. To the right of your scores, you will see the recommended course placement based on your results. You may have two to three math scores as the compass math assessment is adaptive. For example, you may have an Algebra and a Pre-Algebra test score. To understand your math scores, first locate the appropriate math assessment chart and then locate your score within that chart. Your score will fall into a range. To the right of your score, you will see the recommended course placement based on your results. A counselor can assist you in selecting the math course most appropriate for your educational goal. After you have established your math, reading, and English placement levels, a counselor will assist you with selecting courses to meet your educational goal. This process is called developing an educational plan. This plan becomes a contract between the college and yourself and if you follow your plan, you will complete your goal according to the timeline established by you and your counselor. We hope you do complete your goal and that your success was due in part to the support received through expert counseling and advice from Contra Costa College.
