The SAT is now administered as the digital SAT. Students use their own devices at school events or national administrations.
The digital SAT is also adaptive. There are two content sections: Reading & Writing and Math. Each section has two stages. The first stage contains a mix of difficulty. How well the student performs sets the difficulty of the second section.
Compass tutors are well trained to help students maximize their points on this new test format by helping them review content areas and become strategic in their time use. We have developed the technology to support our excellent instruction in the form of highly tested digital adaptive practice tests and online homework. Our tutoring is data-driven. The analytics we provide to clients and tutors is far beyond what other companies or College Board offer.
Increasingly, colleges with selective admissions and test-optional policies are recommending students to test. Your 1-on-1 director can help you consider your options and customize a testing preparation strategy so that you can showcase your academic strengths.
