Test Prep Essentials

Building your foundation for testing success
Expert Instructors, Small Classes

Fall/Winter 2023 Classes

Not sure whether to prepare for the ACT or SAT?  Want to get a head start without the pressure of an impending test date? This is the course for you!

Students start with an online proctored quiz to evaluate their existing Math and Verbal skills and complete the course with a practice ACT and SAT. Students leave the course with a far more informed understanding of how to choose between the two tests. Throughout the course, they build math, reading, and writing content knowledge that serves as a foundation for formal test prep.

Our course not only covers what to learn but also how to learn. Students take an online, one-hour assessment of their learning strengths through our partners at MindPrint Learning. Instructors use the insights gleaned from these reports to fold study skills and executive functioning strategies into the classes. As a result, students are empowered to be the architects of their own learning.

Compass expert instructors specialize in inspiring high school students. They are among the most experienced in the industry, averaging over 1000 tutoring hours. Engaging, positive role models, our teachers make learning strategies and reviewing content fun and effective.

Each program features 12 hours of interactive, small group instruction, industry-leading curriculum, two practice tests, and a detailed report on your learning style.
