College Success delivers accurate measurement of student's knowledge and skills via a sophisticated computer-adaptive branching algorithm and computer adaptive testing technology, delivered over the internet (SaaS) to select specific test questions that are best suited for each particular test taker. This "individualizing" of the test for each student allows for accurate diagnosis of students' knowledge and skills using fewer items than are typically required in traditional "paper-and-pencil" tests or even online linear tests. As soon as a student finishes a test, his or her score is available immediately. Additionally, the writing portion of the program is powered by IntelliMetric®, considered the gold-standard for automated scoring of student writing, and used by the Graduate Management Admissions Council® (GMAC®) to score the Graduate Management Admissions Test® (GMAT®) writing section.

  • Reading Comprehension
