Placement Testing

Ogeechee Technical College utilizes COMPASS, published by the American College Testing, Inc. (ACT), as its primary state approved assessment instrument for testing applicants for program readiness. For applicants that are uncomfortable with taking computerized tests, or in certain other situations, Ogeechee Technical College offers ASSET, another state approved instrument published by ACT.

COMPASS consists of a series of four tests: Writing, Reading, Mathematics and Algebra. This test is an un-timed, multiple choice examination given by computer. Algebra scores are required only for Associate Degrees and certain other programs of study. All other programs require a Mathematics score.

COMPASS sample tests may be taken online (see link below). Students may review sample test questions and answers for any or all sections of the test.

ASSET consists of a series of four tests: Writing, Reading, Numerical Skills and Elementary Algebra. This test is a paper and pencil multiple choice test, with each section timed at 25 minutes. Elementary Algebra scores are required only for Associate Degrees and certain other programs of study. All other programs require a Numerical Skills score.

Placement tests are required for admission at OTC. By using the study guides listed here, you will be better prepared on test day.
