Do I have to get started right away to receive the discount?

Absolutely not. Compass believes in giving families the most appropriate guidance on testing timelines. Some students should wait before beginning preparation. As long as you give us the referral code during the eligibility period and meet the other eligibility criteria, you will receive the discount when you begin tutoring.

I have not yet started my SAT program. Can I still provide a referral code and receive a discount?

Yes. As long as you provide the code within the availability period and meet the other eligibility criteria, then you may receive the discount, and the friend who referred you will receive a reward.

Can a student use the referral code multiple times?

The referral code discount is available only on a new client’s first ACT, SAT, or PSAT program.
