Northwood School Testing Programs

PRESENTED BY COMPASS EDUCATION GROUP

Welcome Class of 2019 and 2020!

Compass Education Group is a leading provider of tutoring for college admission tests. Northwood School has partnered with Compass to offer a number of helpful resources to families.

Students are invited to take practice ACTs and SATs at Northwood (click HERE to register), which will be graded and accompanied by a robust score report. With scores in-hand — and guidance from Northwood counselors and Compass’ directors — students will be able to determine which exam is a better fit, SAT or ACT.

Compass has been an invaluable resource for us for over a decade. Their approach to testing is smart and reasonable. The programs they provide for our families are of the highest quality.

Laura Hotchkiss, Director of Upper SchoolMarlborough School

Compass is in a class of its own. They help us keep student health and wellness at the center of our program. I am flooded with overtures from test prep companies, but I always come back to the team at Compass.

    HOW DOES IT WORK?

    EVALUATION
    Efficient and successful test prep relies on accurate diagnoses. Our practice tests provide a detailed portrait of your testing strengths and weaknesses, allowing us to make recommendations and adjustments tailored to your personal needs.
    RECOMMENDATION
    After a thorough assessment of testing data, background, needs, and goals, we develop an individualized plan. Because we do not offer “packages” of lessons, we have the flexibility to craft personalized programs of study that take these nuances into account.
    MATCH
    We hold all our instructors to the same high standards, but that doesn’t mean they’re all the same. Your schedule, your learning style, even your outside interests – we consider all these factors in selecting the best instructor for you.
    SUPPORT
    Once lessons begin, our instructors and directors work together to monitor your progress and make adjustments until you achieve your score goals. We are never on auto-pilot, and our continued oversight drives the success of our programs.
