Test News July 2023

Below is an overview of the latest developments.

• In the past period, NOA instruments have also been used for the selection of students for numerus fixus programmes in higher education. In the meantime, the possibility of (partially) drawing lots has come a step closer. You can read how NOA views selection and lottery in an article we have previously written on this subject: Selection or lottery?

• Many Study Choice Checks or Matching Assessments and 21+ admission tests with instruments from NOA have also been made recently. In addition to individual level, all these assessments offer the opportunity to get an idea of characteristics of (prospective) students. When an assessment is conducted for several years, it offers the opportunity to investigate whether students change in these aspects.

• New test platform almost ready!
  Not yet visible to you, but behind the scenes we are working the transition to our new test platform. This platform offers more user-friendliness, more security and many new functionalities.
  We are also taking advantage of the transition to take a closer look at a number of aspects of our instruments and to develop them further. This involves instructions, design and reports.
  We expect the first customers to be able to switch from September.

If you want to know more about the background of our instruments and their use, there is the possibility of an 'open registration' test training Data open training. If you have any questions about (other) options, please contact your account manager.
