Hybrid Solutions
We understand the reservations around evolving a long-established model of paper-based assessment, but our global team of experts will support you through the journey.
Around paper-oriented solutions, we can supply expertise in DTP and Test design, logistics, and marking centre setup and operations. Utilise our world-class script processing facilities directly, or partner with us to install and manage your own scanning operations locally. Integrating technology at various stages of your assessment process can bring numerous benefits, but there is one phase of the lifecycle where the advantages really stand out for many customers, and that is marking.
Marking
ÃÛÌÒapp Assessment Services has a custom-built, fully secure online marking system that facilitates timely and accurate marking of student responses, specifically developed for use in educational testing globally. It has been used internationally for over 10 years, and during that time has been used to mark over 2 billion student responses.

Having scanned every student's answer booklet, the software presents an anonymised digital image of a student response.
A marker then scores that response using the digital scoring grid.
