Early Assessment College Placement
Testing in West Virginia
Please help me convey this information to home schooling associations
in the state of West Virginia.
My name is Nancy Parks, and I work at Fairmont State College
in Fairmont, West Virginia, in a program called Early Assessment.
Early Assessment provides college placement testing for prospective
state college and university students in West Virginia. Traditionally,
the program has been made available to students in public and
private high schools in our service region; however, I realize
that an increasing number of our college freshmen have been home-schooled,
and I would welcome the opportunity to provide college placement
testing for this group.
If any West Virginia home schooling groups in our service
region (which consists of Barbour, Doddridge, Harrison, Marion,
Monongalia, Preston, Randolph, and Taylor counties) would like
to have their senior high school age students tested for eligibility
for enrollment in any introductory math or English course at
Fairmont State College--or any other state school in WV--please
contact me to set up an appointment.
The tests are called "COMPASS" and they are computerized,
untimed, and free. Results are shared only with the student and
his family, and the student will receive a written copy of his
scores and placement. Any satisfactory scores will be reserved
for students' use should they decide to attend college, but if
the scores are unsatisfactory, the student may re-test at registration.
It's really that simple.
Please share this information with your home-school families.
I look forward to being contacted soon.
Thank you,
Nancy Parks
