  • Compass is an invaluable resource for us. Their approach to testing is smart and reasonable. Their sophomore parent testing evenings are of the highest quality.

    Laura Hotchkiss, Director of Upper School, Marlborough School

  • Compass’ presentation was, by far, the best one we have ever had on admission testing. The content was spot on and the delivery was wonderful: clear, articulate, warm, and reassuring.

    Gail Devine, College Counselor, Louisville High School

  • Concerned about the changes to the 2016 SAT, I had invited Compass to our Sophomore College & Academic Planning Night. We had never had a test prep company speak to our families in the past.

    Jennifer Thomas, College Counselor, Maybeck High School
