The examples in this booklet are similar to the kinds of test questions you are likely to see when you take the actual aCT Compass test. Since this is a practice exercise, you will answer just a few questions and you won’t receive a real test score. The answer key follows the sample questions.  \nOnce you are ready to take the actual aCT Compass test, you need to know that the test is computer delivered and untimed—that is, you may work at your own pace. after you complete the test, you can get a score report to help you make good choices when you register for college classes.  \nWe hope you benefit from these sample questions, and we wish you success as you pursue your education and career goals!  \nNote to Parents  \nThe test questions in this sample set are similar to the kinds of test questions your son or daughter will encounter when they take the actual aCT Compass test. Since these questions are only for practice, they do not produce a test score; students answer more questions on the actual test. The aim of this booklet is to give a sense of the kinds of questions examinees will face and their level of difficulty. There is an answer key atthe end.  \n© 2014 by aCT, inc. all rights reserved. aCT Compass© is a registered trademark of aCT, inc. 1337  \nACT Compass Reading Placement Test  \nThe reading comprehension items are of two general categories: referring and reasoning. Within each of these two general categories are several content categories that further specify the skills and knowledge assessed by each item. Referring items pose questions about material explicitly stated in a passage. Reasoning items assess proficiency at making appropriate inferences, developing a critical understanding of the text, and determining the specific meanings of difficult, unfamiliar, or ambiguous words based on the surrounding context.  \nSamples of items in the primary content categories of the ACT Compass Reading Placement Test are provided on the following pages.  \n© 2014 by ACT, Inc.

Farmers who work on a small scale and use traditional methods have largely been ignored. However, as the world slowly comes to terms with the threat of climate change, Native farming traditions will warrant greater attention.  \nIn the industrial model of agriculture, one or two crop varieties are grown over vast areas. Instead of trying to use local resources of soil and water optimally and sustainably, the natural environment is all but ignored and uniform growing conditions are fabricated through large-scale irrigation and the intensive use of artificial fertilizers and pesticides. For example, a handful of basically similar potato varieties, all of which require nearly identical soil conditions, temperature, rainfall, and growing seasons, account for almost all global production. When these global crops are no longer suited to the environment in which they are grown, when their resistance to disease and pests begins to fail, or the climate itself changes, the best way to rejuvenate the breeding stock will be to introduce new genetic material from the vast diversity of crop varieties still maintained by indigenous peoples.  \nIn contrast to the industrial model, Andean potatoes and other Andean crops such as squash and beans grown by Quechuan farmers exhibit extraordinary genetic diversity, driven by the need to adapt crops to the extraordinary climatic diversity of the region.
