Laurel Springs School and Compass Education have partnered to offer a Digital Adaptive SAT practice test at no cost. This test (learn all about it here) mimics the computer-based test — question type, content, timing, duration, and adaptive structure.
In addition, an at-home, computer-proctored ACT practice test is being offered. This test is the classic ACT format: the science test is required and included in the Composite score.
The test results are invaluable in helping Laurel Springs college counselors and Compass directors craft the ideal testing and tutoring plan for each student.
DATE & TIME
- At-Home, digital SAT practice test – available anytime January 13-23
- At-Home, computer-proctored, ACT practice test – available anytime January 20-30
The registration deadline each week is Thursday. By Friday, we will send you a detailed confirmation email; the link to take the test will be included; you can take the test anytime during the open testing window.
