Compass Practice Tests

Compass Practice Tests For School Partners

Compass offers a complimentary practice digital SAT and ACT to students who attend our partner schools.

Compass is the only tutoring company that offers the advanced testing analytics you receive with these premium score reports. Whether taken before tutoring begins or mid-way through your program, an online interactive practice test provides the most detailed diagnostic assessment of your performance, allowing your tutor to better identify areas for improvement.

Digital SAT & ACT in the Compass Online Testing Center

Key features include:

  • Tests available on-demand at your convenience
  • Immediate scoring
  • An enhanced score report that includes time spent per question
  • Highlighter, Answer Masking, and Answer Eliminator tools to help you mark up your online test
  • Question Flagging that lets your tutors see where you felt most challenged during the test
  • The freedom to start your test whenever you’re ready; extended time accommodations if needed

NOTE: The ACT test is the classic format: the science test is required and included in the Composite score.​ It also mirrors the paper/pencil test.

Paper ACT at Home with Proctor Videos

  • ACT in the new structure and timing format for fall 2025 testing

How the Demo Tour Works

Our tour of the Online Testing Center steps you through each feature and tool, giving you a preview of the testing experience and a guided opportunity to practice using those tools. Tools include:

Highlighter—highlight passages and questions
Answer Eliminator—streamline process of elimination
Question Flagging—mark questions for review at the section or after results are in
Timer—hide or show the time remaining to keep on pace

Upon entering the Compass Online Testing Center, students are given the opportunity to take this same tour. We strongly encourage all students to take advantage of its instruction, particularly if it is their first time taking a digital practice test with Compass, so they can utilize all of the testing tools.

Note: The demo must be accessed through Safari, Chrome, or Firefox on a laptop, desktop, or tablet. Mobile phones are not supported.
