Services For Education
Choose the right SOLUTION for the right PROBLEM.
Precise Solutions works in partnership with clients to create the right tool for the right purpose. To achieve this, we devise language assessment tests that are customized according to the requirements of each client.
Admission Test
Determine if candidates possess the language skills required to start a program
A fair and effective admission test must inevitably be based on the curriculum and expectations of the program that the participants are going to enter.
A major misunderstanding is that generic admission tests can be used for admission of candidates to any program at any educational institution. However, each educational institution, whether university, college or school, has its own standards, roadmaps and curriculum. An admission test that works well for one school does not necessarily work equally well for another.
Precise Solutions designs and administers exclusive admission tests specifically based on the unique needs and purposes of each individual educational institution.
Placement Test
Place new applicants in the course and level where they belong
A good Placement Test must necessarily be based on the curriculum of the program for which the test takers are applying. A random off-the-shelf test cannot satisfy this very essential requirement.
Precise Solutions testing specialists review your curriculum, study the objectives of the course and conduct a needs analysis to determine the content, length and properties of the placement test.
Having participants with multiple proficiency levels in the same course is one of the most prevalent problems in educational institutions. A placement test designed for your program will eliminate that problem.
Achievement Test
Evaluate learners’ achievement and progress
Precise measurement of progress is necessary to ensure the quality of learning and the effectiveness of instruction. By conducting regular and periodic tests that are professionally designed, proficiently administered and objectively scored, the quality of both learning and teaching can be measured.
Precise Solutions will inform teachers and administrators of the areas of the curriculum that were possibly missed or under-taught. The results of the tests build the foundation for future planning and further teacher support and education.
Achievement tests are an essential part of a formative assessment of the learners’ attainment and will cast light on the strong and weak points.

Diagnostic Test
A checkup from the neck up!
A Diagnostic Test is a snapshot of a running program in order to identify the existing problems impeding the process of learning and/or teaching. Just like any other test, a good Diagnostic Test must reflect the curriculum and teaching methodologies in order for the results to be meaningful and relevant.
Changes to the curriculum or teaching methodologies must be data driven. An effective Diagnostic Test can readily produce reliable data for such significant decisions to be made confidently.
ESP Test
Assess English language ability for Specific Purposes
English is the universally accepted language of science and technology. Testing English proficiency for any discipline must reflect the course content and must be able to accurately measure the linguistic ability of the candidates for effective functioning in those scientific areas. The language of medicine is different from the language of law or engineering.
Precise Solutions works in tandem with the departments of science, engineering or business to create language proficiency tests for specific purposes.
A fair and effective placement of learners in any educational program is the key to the success of the participants and the overall positive outcome of that program.
Proficiency Test
Measure present level and fluency in each language skill
The best starting point to every teaching-learning endeavour is a Precise Solutions proficiency test that provides a high-resolution snapshot of the current linguistic proficiency level of each candidate.
General proficiency tests can be given to students upon exit from a program. A language proficiency test is sometimes constructed in reverse engineering to ensure that students have the ability to use language in various contexts and settings, and can handle real-world linguistic tasks in everyday communication.
