<p>Can I take the compass test in the second semester and not the first? I want to take my electives first and then tackle my core classes in the second semester.. Is this possible, or will they make me take it first semester?</p>
<p>You need to ask your guidance counselor about this. Your school might administer that exam only once each year.</p>
<p>Yeah you’d have to talk to your counselor. When I signed up at my college I had to take the test before I could enroll in any classes, because English is a prerequisite for almost everything. But I don’t know if it works that way everywhere.</p>
