The examples in this booklet are similar to the kinds of test questions you are likely to see when you take the actual 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 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 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 at the end.  \nCOMPASS Mathematics Tests  \nThe COMPASS Mathematics Tests are organized around five principal content domains: numerical skills/prealgebra, algebra, college algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. To ensure variety in the content and complexity of items within each domain, 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 Windows® and Internet versions of COMPASS Mathematics Tests. Calculators must, however, meet ACT’s specifications, which are the same for COMPASS and the ACT Assessment. These specifications are updated periodically and can be found at ACT’s website at  \n[http://www.act.org/aap/taking/calculator.html](http://www.act.org/aap/taking/calculator.html)  \nCollege Algebra, Geometry, and Trigonometry Placement Tests  \nCollege Algebra Placement Test  \nItems in the College Algebra Test focus on algebra knowledge and skills in a variety of content areas. The majority of items come from the following content areas:  \nFunctions Exponents  \nComplex Numbers  \nArithmetic and Geometric Sequences and Series Matrices (basic operations, equations, and determinants)  \nSample items for each of these categories are presented later in this section.  \nGeometry Placement Test  \nPrimary content areas included in the Geometry Placement Test include:  \nTriangles (perimeter, area, Pythagorean theorem, etc.)  \nCircles (perimeter, area, arcs, etc.)  \nAngles (supplementary, complementary, adjacent, vertical, etc.)  \nRectangles (perimeter, area, etc.) Three-dimensional concepts Hybrid (composite) shapes  \nSample items for each of these categories are presented later in this section.  \nTrigonometry Placement Test  \nThe primary content areas assessed by the Trigonometry Placement Test include:  \nTrigonometric functions and identities Right-triangle trigonometry Trigonometric equations and inequalities Graphs of trigonometric functions  \nSpecial angles (multiples of 30 and 45 degrees)  \nSample items for each of these categories are presented later in thi","cbCaib2eUvhFskwz","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaib2eUvhFskwz","pdf",695758,17,"English","# Note to Students\n# Note to Parents\n# COMPASS Mathematics Tests\n## Content domains and cognitive complexity\n# College Algebra Placement Test\n## Functions, exponents, complex numbers, sequences, matrices\n# Geometry Placement Test\n## Triangles, circles, angles, rectangles, 3D and composite shapes\n# Trigonometry Placement Test\n## Trigonometric functions, identities, equations, graphs, special angles\n# College Algebra\n## Sample questions 1-9","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of this COMPASS mathematics sample booklet?\",\"answer\":\"It provides sample mathematics questions that resemble those students will see on the actual COMPASS test.
