DESCRIPTION
A sweeping overhaul of the SAT/PSAT is imminent. Starting in the fall of 2023, paper-based administrations of the PSAT will be completely replaced by an adaptive, computer-based format. The SAT will follow suit in early 2024.
To help families understand the changes on the horizon, the college counseling team will host Compass Education Group for a virtual presentation on the future of college admission testing. Please join other students and families for a timely, thoughtful, and pragmatic discussion that will span the following topics and more:
- How to respond to the flexibility afforded by test-optional policies
- Best way to approach the SAT vs ACT decision
- Understanding the new digital, adaptive PSAT and SAT
- Debunking the most pervasive myths about testing
- Finding the optimal timeline for your testing and test prep
- Scope of test prep and expectations for improvement
