Student Services Office at Waycross College administers five major
tests:
Unless
special permission is given, all participants in these examinations
must be Waycross College applicants
or students.
The
Student Services Office also administers tests for off campus agencies
or other colleges as requested.
SAT
Waycross College
offers an Institutional SAT option for students attempting admissions
to Waycross College and its affiliated programs. The SAT has
six sections with Math and English questions. Students receive
a Math score and an English which will help determine placement
needs and admissions.
There is
a $35.00 charge for all persons taking the SAT at Waycross College.
This fee is paid when an individual comes to take the test.
COMPASS
This computerized
Placement Exam is used to determine the appropriate levels of English
and Math courses for individuals entering Waycross College.
The college offers remediation or developmental studies for students
with deficiencies in these areas. Students must retake and
pass the COMPASS exam to exit the developmental courses.
Entering students
will be notified by the Admissions Office as to if and when they
need to take the COMPASS test and which parts (Math, English, or
both Math and English) are required. The student will then
be directed to be in contact with the Student Services Office to
set up an appointment for testing. The COMPASS exam is given
by appointment only! There is no charge for this test.
REGENTS'
TEST
The Regents'
Testing program was developed to assess the reading and writing
competencies of students in the University System of Georgia. Students
in programs leading to the baccalaureate, Associate of Arts or Associate
of Science degree must pass both components of the Regents' Test
as a requirement for graduation.
The Regents'
Test measures literacy and writing abilities. The Reading
portion of the test consists of 60 questions requiring students
to use reading comprehension skills. The Essay portion
of the test requires a well organized position paper, approximately
500 words in length, regarding one of four topics. Review
materials and practice tests are available from Student Services,
the World Wide Web or the Academic Support Center.
