Changing A+ Math Requirements for the Class of 2017 and beyond

The 2017 high school seniors who do not achieve a score of proficient or advanced on the Algebra I, or a higher level math, EOC must achieve one of the following standardized test scores or have a combined ACT math score and high school GPA in accordance with the following scale.

Standardized Test Score
Score
Test
17
ACT math subtest
43
COMPASS Pre-Algebra
1
COMPASS Algebra

ACT Math/High School GPA Scale
ACT Math Score

High School GPA
17
and
2.5 or greater
16
and
2.8 or greater
15
and
3.0 or greater

In addition, MDHE recommended and the CBHE approved that the COMPASS exam be discontinued as a means of establishing eligibility for the 2018 high school seniors. As a result, the 2018 seniors will not be able to establish eligibility based on a COMPASS score even if it has already been achieved.

The standardized test scores are the same scores established for the 2015 and 2016 seniors. This alternative accommodates the 2017 seniors who have already taken the COMPASS exam or will have the opportunity to take the exam before it is phased out in November 2016.
