Assessment Tools for Schools

What is an assessment tool?

An Assessment Tool facilitates the administration of local assessments. Students take the assessment with pencil and paper or, in some cases, on-line. Paper answer sheets are scored using a simple scanner. Test data are quickly available for review. While some vendors also sell test item banks or complete tests, only products that are content neutral are included in this list.

Here are some of the currently popular assessment tools:
  • Bookette
  • CTB-McGraw Hill
  • Data Director
  • Datawise
  • Edusoft
  • ETS- Pulliam
  • Maximus
  • PCPal
  • Pearson Inform
