ACT Preparation

We are now in a new era of college admission testing. The best way to know if the ACT is better suited to your strengths is through diagnostic testing. We are happy to schedule practice tests for both the SAT and ACT, followed by in-depth director analysis, to help you choose which test to target. While many students score similarly on the SAT and ACT, there are exceptions.

Compass specializes in one-on-one test preparation, so you can be assured of an ACT program custom-fit to your needs. Rather than offering the same fixed program to everyone, we take the time to evaluate your test-taking tendencies, then make personalized recommendations. Your college goals, your learning style, your schedule, even your outside interests – we take all of it and more into account when tailoring your program of study and matching you with the ideal instructors. Read more about our approach.

One reason we offer a diagnostic practice test and director analysis before you begin is so that you see exactly where you stand and how you can improve. And even if you then decide to prepare on your own, we’ll be glad to provide some guidance.

We always look forward to sharing our expertise, either in a conversation, through our Resource Center , or in our free College Admission Testing Guide .
