    Praise for Our IEC Symposia

    Compass gave an invaluable presentation to our regional group of IECs. The information was detailed, easy to understand, and provided insights on testing we had not received from anywhere else.

    Kim Snyder Mehta, IECA Member, Washington DC

    Compass' presentations are well-researched, insightful, and essential to IECs hoping to understand the latest developments in college admission testing.

    Laura Gatzionis, IECA Global Committee Chair

    With humor and aplomb, Compass did an amazing job of bringing the College Consultants of Colorado up to speed on current trends in the testing world.

    Shelly Humbach, HECA Member, Colorado

    As an IEC, staying on top of the trends and changes related to the standardized testing landscape today is paramount. The guidance and expertise offered to IECs by Compass through workshops, presentations, and resources are essential to professional development.

    Laura Blanche, HECA/IECA/PACAC Member, Pennsylvania

    With a blend of humor, data, and facts, Compass' presentation offers much-needed clarity to the testing landscape. My students and families have already benefited from the information and resources I have passed along. Thank you Compass for making it a priority to keep IECs up-to-date on the latest testing research.
