Assessment Tools

ACT provides a complete range of assessment instruments to meet the needs of students and educators at all types of two-year and four-year institutions, from the smallest to the largest, from open admissions to highly selective.

ASSET®, COMPASS®, and CPAt are comprehensive placement testing and advising programs for campuses that need effective walk-in assessment for entry-level students.

COMPASS uses state-of-the-art computer-adaptive testing technology to provide on-demand, diagnostic assessment of student skills in mathematics, reading, and writing.

ASSET, COMPASS, and CPAt provide a wealth of aggregate reports to give faculty and administrators crucial information they need to improve the success of students and programs.

The ACT Assessment® Program sets the standard for comprehensive academic, career, and personal assessment for use in college admissions, advising, career counseling, course placement, and retention.
