Berkeley Carroll College Counseling Office and Compass Education Group will administer FREE Online Testing Center ACT and SAT practice tests to students in the 10th grade. The test results are invaluable in helping the Berkeley Carroll College Counselors and Compass directors craft the ideal testing and tutoring plan for each student.
In addition, Berkeley Carroll College Counseling Office and Compass Education Group will administer a FREE Digital PSAT. This test mimics the computer-based test — question type, content, timing, duration, and adaptive structure — so students will get an early feel for what’s to come in fall 2023.
DATE & TIME
- At-Home Online Testing Center ACT, SAT, and Digital PSAT are available anytime between May 1st through July 31st.
*Please note that the Digital PSAT may be the same one as previously administered.
The registration deadline each week is Thursday. By Friday, we will send you a detailed confirmation email; the link to take the test will be included; you can take the test anytime during the open testing window.
