To ensure variety in the content and complexity of items within each domain, ACT Compass includes mathematics items of three general levels of cognitive complexity: basic skills, application, and analysis. A basic skills item can be solved by performing a sequence of basic operations. An application item involves applying sequences of basic operations to novel settings or in complex ways. An analysis item requires students to demonstrate a conceptual understanding of the principles and relationships relevant to particular mathematical operations. Items in each of the content domains sample extensively from these three cognitive levels.  \nStudents are permitted to use calculators on all current versions of ACT Compass Mathematics Tests. Calculators must, however, meet ACT specifications, which are the same for ACT Compass and the ACT® college readiness assessment. These specifications are updated periodically and can be found at [http://actstudent.org/faq/calculator.html](http://actstudent.org/faq/calculator.html).  \n© 2014 by ACT, Inc.

The Numerical Skills/Pre-algebra Placement Test includes items from more than a dozen content areas; however, a majority of the questions come from the following categories:  \n1. Operations with Integers  \n2. Operations with Fractions  \n3. Operations with Decimals  \n4. Positive Integer Exponents, Square Roots, and Scientific Notation  \n5. Ratios and Proportions  \n6. Percentages  \n7. Averages (Means, Medians, and Modes)  \nSample items for each of these categories are presented later in this section.  \nAlgebra Placement Test  \nThe Algebra Placement Test is composed of items from three curricular areas: elementary algebra, coordinate geometry, and intermediate alg","cbCaigR3g9MpTPVb","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigR3g9MpTPVb","pdf",265522,14,"English","# Numerical Skills/Pre-algebra Placement Test Sample Questions\n## Numerical Skills/Pre-algebra Test topic categories\n## Algebra Placement Test overview\n## Numerical Skills/Pre-algebra sample questions","[{\"question\":\"Are the ACT Compass mathematics tests timed, and how are scores reported?\",\"answer\":\"The tests are computer-delivered and untimed.
