FAQ
  • I'm preparing for Compass Math. How should I start?

    You can first test yourself with this sample Compass test questions to see which areas and topics you need to focus more on. Then, watch our video lessons and work on the practice questions for review and better understanding.

  • What should I expect when in the Math Compass test?

    It is made up with multiple-choice questions. Only calculators with the most basic functions are allowed. You will also be provided a calculator on the screen during the test too.

  • Any tips on getting a good score in the ACT Compass test?

    The test is computer-adaptive. So, the difficulty level of questions given to you changes based on how well you answer the previous ones. Since it is untimed, you should take as much time as you need to best demonstrate your skills.

    But don't take our word for it…
  • Carson E.
    parent

    When we saw our son's grades we looked online for a convenient, affordable and effective solution. StudyPug has been a great investment.

  • Jason G.
    high school senior

    This website saved my butt last semester. I am using it againthis semester. Dennis is the best online tutor... I also like that I can watch videos over and over until I really understand the concept. If you want to save time, sign up...it's only ten bucks and it saved me hours of study time. Thanks, Dennis!

  • Aaron M.
    high school student

    I get a whole library of videos that covers everything from basic to complex mathematics for a very low monthly price. Excellent videos, easy-to-understand and most of all they work. My math test results are 10 points higher than last semester.
