HOW IS NGSTUDENT DIFFERENT?
• In-depth Analysis – Question answering speed; domain content performance
breakdown; comparison between diagnostic and benchmark test performance; and many
more indicators for evaluating student performance
• Created for Schools – NGStudent was developed specifically for schools and
school districts and can be easily embedded into school curriculum. Personalized student
data can be use for multiple years allowing schools to see growth and trends of each
student from middle school to graduation
• Teacher Access – Teachers can view students’ work, provide feedback, and set
homework for students on NGStudent. The ability to access students’ personalized data
allows teachers to know their student's academic strengths and challenges before class
begins

• Integrated Learning Platform – NGStudent combines content knowledge
mastery with college test preparation strategies in a seamless and unique way
• Research Based – NGStudent learning methodology is based on research from

NGSTUDENT LEARNING MODEL

1. Diagnostic Test
• Courses
• Lessons
• Videos
• Quizzes
• Domain Tests
4. Test Preparation Skills Development
Students start with a diagnostic test, allowing accurate assessment of current content knowledge
Based on result of the diagnostic test, a set of learning materials is made available to the student, with domain tests used to assess knowledge retention
Upon completion of the materials in the Learning Center, students are tested again with two Benchmark tests. The results of the benchmark tests are then compared to the result of the diagnostic test to show student knowledge growth
