The IEC Testing Symposium

We cordially invite you to attend the Compass Symposium on College Admission Testing, a professional development luncheon specifically designed for IECs. The program will take place on Thursday, November 29th from 12pm-1:30pm. Compass Co-Founder, Adam Ingersoll, will be leading the event. We are regularly invited by schools and groups of counselors throughout the U.S. to provide presentations on college admission testing. Adam also has been scheduled this fall to provide training on admission test interpretation for the admission staffs of Caltech and USC. While our talks for students and parents are often billed as “Admission Testing 101,” the symposia we facilitate for college counselors could be considered graduate-level. We take a deep dive into the current landscape of admission testing, offering up-to-date, nuanced information on all the thorniest questions.

Event Location: Seasons 52 at 8325 Park Meadows Center Dr, Lone Tree, CO 80124

Examples of topics covered include:

• How to successfully discourage students from starting too soon, correcting the “more is more” assumptions around testing and test prep, what do the data tell us about developmentally-appropriate testing timelines
• Helping students choose between the SAT and ACT, what differences are meaningful, how to understand practice test reports and make the correct decision
• Making sense of the shifting milieu of college testing policies: Subject Tests required vs. recommend vs. will consider, SAT/ACT essay requirements and scoring variability, super-scoring and score choice restrictions and the implications for repeat testing

We’ll share a detailed rationale and perspective around these questions and more, which you can put to use immediately to help encourage healthy testing-related behavior by students and parents.

Please join us for essential testing insights, a tasty lunch, and the good company of fellow consultants.
