HELLO ALL!

DOES ANYONE KNOW IF YOU CAN TRANSFER THE READNG COMPASS TEST TO OTHER SCHOOLS? OF WILL YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE TEST AT EACH SCHOOL THAT YOU ARE APPLYING TO?

THANKS ;)

I can't see why you would have to re-take the test simply b/c of transferring - I would think that the test content should be the same regardless of where you take it, at least within each state. But then again you never know.

Some schools will only accept your score within a certain time frame. ie, how recently you've taken the test. At my school if it's been more than 3 years since you last took it, then you have to re-take it.

I've Never Taken It Before, I Already Have A B.s.(2004) & Was Told By The Advisor @ Jeff State It Was Required. I've Never Heard Of It Till Recently & Don't Understand Why I Have To Take It When I've Already Taken English & Passed. However, I Plan On Applying To Another Cc Which Also Requires The Reading Compass Test. So I Was Wondering Could I Request It From One School To Send To Another, Like With The Transcripts.

You have to take it because thats were the bulk ( up to 99 points ) comes from. :lol2:

As far as transfering ..you can but I know its a pain to do. They actually do it for the reason that they like to discourage students from applying to every program in the area. But it can be done..just give yourself plenty of time. Contact the place where you take it and ask what there procedure is to have the score transfered. You will also need your transcripits of every college class you have ever taken. You have to contact each school and they will mail it to you. DO NOT OPEN the letter when it gets to you. Take it in and they open it!!! Give yourself plenty of time to get them too as some schools are slow

Good Luck
