ACT ® and COMPASS ® Placement Test
All students must submit either ACT ® scores or COMPASS ® Test scores prior to being eligible to enroll in an English or
math course. Kaskaskia College accepts the ACT ® scores taken as part of the Prairie State Tests. Any new student
who has not taken the ACT ® and who plans to enroll will be required to take the COMPASS ® test prior to enrolling in any
English or any math course. The COMPASS ® test and/or the ACT ® are also required for students seeking admission to
special admission programs. There is no fee for the first two COMPASS ® tests, and tests are administered on the main
campus as well as the Education Centers throughout the district.
Students who are pursuing either the Associate in Arts degree or the Associate in Science degree must complete the
Kaskaskia College geometry requirements prior to graduation. Students must satisfy one of the following requirements:

3. ACT ® math score of greater than 22
4. COMPASS ® score of Algebra Domain 66-99 or College Algebra Domain of 0-45 or higher
