College placement test, should I be worried?

[Allenafaith]

I take my placement test on Wednesday. I know I'll do bad on the math part, I've always had problems with math. I am pretty confident with the reading and writing part, though. I just need to remember do not try to overdo it on the essay. XD

Should I be scared, though? Is it super hard? How did you do on yours if you took one?

Good luck! These are never fun, but I don't think they were super hard. Did you ever take the SATs or ACTs? Pretty similar idea. Probably a good idea to study for it, especially math.

Just do what you can do and relax and don't worry to much. It doesn't bother me if I don't have and good score points

Just give your best. And leave thinking for the bigwigs. The more you think, the more we mess up.

Are these placement exams given by individual colleges?


Forgive my ignorance, it's just that college/university places are allocated on a points system over here. I'm always interested in knowing how things work in other countries. ^^

You can get it to where it's only able to use at a community college or you can take the one that I took that is valid at every college.

No, don't be scared. They're merely an indicator of what classes you should take! Don't be ashamed if it's low relative to others, as you're in college to learn about new things!

Is this the COMPASS test?
