We have been helping academic departments balance external accountability with internal autonomy for over 2 decades. The ability to select content that matches departmental teaching and learning goals has made the ACAT the instrument of choice for more than 500 colleges and universities.
ACATs are flexible content tests administered using pencil and paper or by computer. Pre-post reference groups are used to provide learning gain scores for students tested at the beginning of the major and again at graduation. Data can be reported separately for multiple campuses or for different programs within a department. Multi-year reference groupos are updated annually. ACAT Online has the same content options as paper versions.

Interim score reports are mailed weekly. Annual summary reports are mailed in mid-June. Supplemental end-of-year comparisons to a cumulative group of your students from previous years will be provided after your first full year of use. Expedited scoring is available. Reports sent in 24 hours or less upon receipt of answer forms or conclusion of online testing. (additional fee applies) Individual score reports can be ordered and used to enhance student feedback and motivation. (additional fee applies)
