Haverkos [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Tuesday, May 24, 2005 9:09 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: ACT cutoff score My institution is considering exempting students from taking the COMPASS placement with a particular ACT score. Does your institution exempt students from your placement test(e.g. COMPASS) with a specific ACT content or composite score? If so, what score do you use? Have you been satisfied with the decision? Any input would be appreciated. Thank you. Peter J.
