Translate Aptitude into Academic Success

InView was standardized on a 2007 norm group. When used with a quality achievement test like TerraNova, Third Edition, InView provides anticipated-achievement scores for individual students and groups, allowing you to compare your students' achievement with that of other students of the same age, grade, and ability—and determine whether your students are achieving to their full potential. This information can help you use achievement results to guide instruction and improve learning opportunities.

Cognitive Skills Index (CSI) scores from InView provide a highly reliable measure of overall academic aptitude—valuable information for guidance, activities planning, and special program identification. Anticipated Achievement scores allow you to compare student performance with that of similar individuals and groups. These scores are a powerful tool. Use them to improve instruction, address specific student strengths and needs, and provide valuable information for parent-teacher conferences.

Why use a Cognitive Assessment?

A cognitive abilities assessment helps you define and focus on individual student needs more effectively. InView and PTCS provide you with insightful information over and beyond achievement test scores, about crucial cognitive skills like verbal reasoning, nonverbal reasoning, and quantitative reasoning.

InView and PTCS are innovative cognitive skills tests that can map student strengths, reveal hidden abilities, and point the way to new learning opportunities.
