The Buckley School and Compass Education have partnered to offer an on-campus, paper/pencil, ACT practice test (linear, non-adaptive) at no cost. 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 the Buckley School college counselors and Compass directors craft the ideal testing and tutoring plan for each student.
