Instructors can assess their program's applicants with an entrance examination. In research studies, successful Admission Assessment scores have been closely correlated to successful program completion and student retention. There's no better way to evaluate prospective students!

The Admission Assessment Exam consists of seven academic exams, as well as a personality profile that identifies the individual applicant's learning style. Instructors can administer any one or all seven of these exams for the same cost. Individual scores are provided for each exam, and these scores are combined to provide subscores in these four areas:

Results are reported online, so instructors have flexibility in breaking down the evaluations. They can sort results alphabetically by student name, or rank students either by composite scores or by scores in individual subject areas.

Instructors can access and rank a variety of scores:

• Composite scores, which consist of the average score for all academic exams completed
• Subject area composite scores, which consist of the score for all the tests completed in a subject area (English, Math, Science)
• Percentage scores for each exam administered
