“Compas” was also the name of the test used by Wisconsin community colleges to assess students. It was legally required that all community college students take it, even if they were only taking a single course. It seemed like a really corrupt arrangement. Want to take a language class to complete a high school requirement? You have to pay $100 to a for profit company to assess your math skills. Seems community colleges no longer use a test branded as “Compas”. Edit: it was “Compass” and discontinued in 2015 over concerns of its accuracy. https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2015/06/18/act-drops-popular-compass-placement-test-acknowledging-its-predictive-limits https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2015/06/18/act-drops-pop...
