This cruise port, the first to be built in New Jersey in 40 years, provides the perfect setting to the beginning or end of any voyage. From the vantage point of the deck, you can look out over the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, the Statue of Liberty, New York Harbor and all of lower Manhattan.
The COMPASS assessment is not timed; you can work at your own pace. Every student is different, but the average time is about 45 minutes for the English and 45 minutes for the math. Together, the average time is about 1.5 to 2 hours.
How long the total assessment lasts varies with the type of issue being evaluated, as well as the person's age. For young children, such as 6-8 year olds, I figure that they will last no more than 1 - 1 1/2 hours during a session. Some of that time is spent with the parent(s), discussing background history and their concerns, but the child is still wearing out in the process.
