Adam Ingersoll

Tests suck and they suck real bad. I know because I cried the day I got my SAT scores in the mail. BUT- we need them in our lives in the college admissions world…or do we? Adam Ingersoll, is the co-founder of the west coast’s leading test prep company, Compass Education Group, and he helps us think about the value of these tests, their present and future, and whether grownups like me should take the new SAT. And then cry about it for old time’s sake.

So, as referenced in the interview, here’s a fun look at what an already-smart person can do when it’s also this already-smart person’s job to take the SAT.

Behold: Adam’s recent score history, and the tragedy that is a nearly-perfect SAT score on multiple exam sittings, but…never quite getting there.

Let's all weep.

Let’s all weep.
