A Symposium on Admission Testing

PRESENTED BY COMPASS EDUCATION GROUP

HOSTED BY IECA CENTRAL FLORIDA REGIONAL GROUP

Please join your IECA colleagues for a Symposium on College Admission Testing, a professional development opportunity. The program will take place on Tuesday, January 24th at 11a.m. Eastern via Zoom and will be led by Compass Education Group’s Adam Ingersoll. If you were unable to attend the live webinar, a recording has been posted below.

We will take a critical look at the current landscape of admission testing, examining the evolving policies and practices around colleges’ use of testing and their impact on student behavior and decision-making. We’ll also provide a thorough review of College Board’s transition – well underway – to digital, adaptive testing, unpacking what counselors should know now and what we should be prepared for with the class of 2025. Time will be allowed for Q&A and discussion.

Special thanks to Rose Ellen Mocombe of Beyond Ivy Educational Consulting for hosting and organizing the presentation. We hope you will join us!
