The COMPASS/CAAP Linkage Report presents an analysis of performance for students who tested with COMPASS on entry to college and with CAAP at a later date.Each report is designed to assist institutions in investigating general education-related student cognitive skill growth from the time students enter college until they are tested with CAAP.
A COMPASS/CAAP Linkage Report can be ordered at any time during the calendar year and will include results that use institutionally requested COMPASS and CAAP scores (e.g., an institution may choose to link COMPASS scores to CAAP scores for the present year and up to three years preceding).
Here are some questions that a COMPASS/CAAP Linkage Report can begin to address:
