HISTORY • Dec 1, 2016 – Compass Ends • New Accuplacer contract would not be in place until after start of Spring 2017 semester • Large number of students wait until near the start of semester to do their placement testing • Chattanooga State (Ch. SCC) already used Ed. Ready MATH for ACT and Compass Prep • Results from Ed. Ready Placement Pilot

Ed. Ready Placement Goals Units 1 -5 Units 6 -10 Units 1 -6 Units 7 -15 Units 16 -19
