Hello!
I am hoping to gather some information about the COMPASS test from ACT.
Have you used COMPASS? Has it created computer-phobia? more/less math anxiety?
Have you done performed any studies on the difference between paper and
pencil test and Asset?

As chair of Placement and Assessment for AMATYC I am interested in compiling
a resource quide for Placement. Are there any other placement tests that
you use that are beneficial to your students? Do you mind if I include your
response in a resource guide? I would appreciate your responses. Please
send them to <nsattler@terra.cc.oh.us>

Thank you for your help.
