Has anyone done the compass test through Carrington Boise? I'm trying to figure out the most effective way to study for it was thinking the Kaplan entrance exam book. Thank you

The compass is not something you study for really. It an entrance exam for college to see what classes you test into. If you are proficient in math, like algebra, you can probably go straight into college algebra. The compass just sees what kind of remediation is needed on the very, very basic math, English, and reading skills.
I thought Carrington college went out of business? You know there are many lawsuits against them and their parent companies?
[emoji15] wow no I didn't know that. What for? Well turns out Carrington College requires you to pass the compass in order to attend so it's not considered a placement like community colleges do.
