ACT vs. SAT Practice Test Program (Emerging)

The Mindfish / Emerging Practice Test Program

We’ve collaborated with Laura Barr and her expert team at Emerging Consultants for many years. During that time, we’ve helped hundreds of Emerging students navigate the college testing process successfully and with minimal stress. Our Practice Test Program is the best way to start your testing journey and plan an optimal program.

These days, all colleges accept scores from either the ACT or the SAT, but the tests are more different than they’ve ever been. Some students are better-suited for the ACT, while others are better-suited for the SAT. (Learn more about the differences between the tests here). It’s critical to make sure that the test for which your student is prepping plays to their strengths.

That’s where our Practice Test Program comes in. The Practice Test Program allows students to take a proctored, timed diagnostic practice  ACT and a proctored, timed diagnostic practice SAT.

After your student has taken both practice tests, we’ll set up a 45-minute, in-depth review meeting with the student, the parent, and one of Mindfish’s expert directors. During this consultation, our director will analyze the practice test results in detail, learn more about the student’s individual goals and needs, and then help formulate a timeline and test prep plan specifically tailored to the background, schedule, and goals of your student.

For In-Person and Remote Students

We offer proctored practice tests almost every weekend of the year and have a good mix of in-person tests at our offices and proctored tests on Zoom. For students who can’t attend one of our scheduled proctored tests, we can easily set up a self-proctored (or parent-proctored) test to take at home. All Practice Test Program follow-up consultations are conducted via Zoom to maximize convenience and attendance by both student and parents.
