Here's what it says from my desired college website:
"The Math Assessment is a computerized adaptive test. "Adaptive" means that your test will begin with questions from the elementary algebra (Algebra 1 in high school) level. If you answer questions correctly, you will be given more challenging questions to answer. If you answer questions incorrectly, the difficulty level will decrease.
The COMPASS Math Assessment is not a timed test. You can spend as much time as you need. It is to your advantage to work out problems on scratch paper before entering answers. Generally you have no more than 12 - 15 questions to answer so you need to work carefully to maximize your score."
So my problem is that I'm really over-stressing it, and I'm trying to find different websites to practice, but I really don't know what to study! I did forget some Algebra 1 stuff but how can I best prepare for it? I have the SAT and ACT prep books, so how would you recommend me to get ready? Do you know any good websites? That test will consist of about 20 questions (I think).
I have spent an entire day today just trying to find some good practice... what a waste of time.
You're my best hope.
Thank you very much.
I'm currently enrolled in a Math Analysis in my senior year of high school.
