Who are Marigold Prep's practice tests for?

Marigold Prep’s practice tests are for any student who is interested in being exposed to official test material in a proctored, but unofficial setting. First-time test takers, seasoned veterans, and everyone in between can benefit from the process.  

​

When will I get my scores? 

Students will be routed to a detailed score analysis as soon as they finish testing.  We encourage families to book a free score report review so they can interpret the data with an expert. 

​

Where do practice tests take place?

Practice tests are hosted live, via Zoom. Students who cannot attend a live, proctored date can still receive access to a practice test, digital proctor tool, detailed score analysis, and complimentary score report review. 

​

Are practice tests digital or pencil and paper?

Practice tests are digital by default, but we are happy to provide paper tests on request. The official SAT is now an exclusively digital test, while the ACT still gives students the option to test on paper. Marigold Prep encourages students to take digital diagnostics because they capture critical data about pacing and time management. Please contact us directly if you'd like your student to take a paper test. 

​

Can I take a practice test with accommodations? 

Time and a half is available on both live, proctored dates and with a digital proctor tool. Please contact us directly if your student has more complex accommodations.  

​

Who sees my scores?

That is completely up to you! This is not an official test sitting, meaning colleges will not see these scores. Once you have your score report you can share it with a family member, college counselor, or anyone else of your choice.

What’s next? 

Every student enrolled in a practice test can take advantage of a complimentary score report review with a test expert. We’ll discuss strengths, areas of opportunities, and a potential plan for an official test.
