Overview

With close to 14 million students, and with more than 18000 colleges and 350 plus universities, the higher education space in India is not only widespread but also highly differentiated. Since there are no widely accepted systems, parameters or criteria in the country to judge an aspirant’s professional potential, assessment areas and processes vary significantly from institution to institution. A candidate’s worth is mostly judged by the reputation of the institution that he or she has attended, leading to wrong selections and subsequent rejections. With the growing focus on higher education and the need to attain and sustain a Gross Enrolment Ratio of 15% in this sector, it has become a challenge to come up with a nationally applicable and objective method of talent assessment.

Why Testing

Tests measure a personal acumen, provide a comparative analysis, and predict the existing strengths and weaknesses of the candidates. To be branded as the best, to receive promotion or move into a dream job or a dream institutions requires a person to qualify superlatively in the assigned tests. Hence, tests have become an indispensible measure for assessing a candidate’s ability and capabilities.

The above factors seemed to lay the foundation for our organization and as we began to delve into the fundamentals of the testing mechanism and analyze the existing testing services prevalent in India, we became more convinced of our initial thought process. We had to reform and make testing universal in appeal and standardized in practice.

Standardized Educational Tests

Standardized tests are used to evaluate students at the school and college level; to help improve teaching and learning; and to generate important data from which policy decisions can be made. The purpose of tests is to provide educators, students, parents, and policy makers with information that is valid, fair, and reliable.

Standardized tests provide information that helps support critically important tasks for educators and the public :

  • Identify the instructional needs of individual students so educators can respond with effective, targeted teaching and appropriate instructional materials;

  • Judge students’ proficiency in essential basic skills and challenging standards and measure their educational growth over time;

  • Evaluate the effectiveness of educational programs;

Standardized tests can have a variety of questions and formats. Any format can present challenging questions that test higher order skills, as well as fundamental skills. A standardized test may include more than one format of question. The most common formats are:

  1. Multiple-choice questions:

    Many standardized tests require students to select a single correct response to each test question (called "items") from among a small number of specific choices. This format—called "multiple choice" or "selected response" - is efficient, practical, and usually produces highly reliable results. Multiple-choice tests offer the advantages of objectivity and uniformity in scoring, ease of administration, and low cost.

  2. Performance assessment questions:

    Performance assessments require students to generate a response to a question rather than choosing from a set of responses provided to them.

  3. Constructed-response questions:

    Constructed-response items may be one type of performance assessment, in which students are given the opportunity to fill-in-a-blank or provide a brief written response to a question, rather than select from an array of possible answers. Constructed-response questions are often included, along with multiple choice questions, on a test to obtain additional and different types of information about what a student knows or can do.
