Sign up for a practice test!

Cardinal Newman and Compass Education have partnered to offer an at-home, digital SAT practice test at no cost. This test mimics the College Board computer-based test — question type, content, timing, duration, and adaptive structure.

In addition, an at-home, digital ACT practice test is being offered at no cost. This test is the new, shorter format; the Science Test section is included.

For detailed information and answers to FAQs, please visit HERE.​

The test results are invaluable in helping Cardinal Newman college counselors and Compass directors craft the ideal testing and tutoring plan for each student.
