FAQ

My state is asking for metrics as part of the funding criteria. Can you help?

Yes. Tests like the CCTST have been approved for performance funding purposes.  The CCTST is an objective measure of core critical thinking skills.   By benchmarking against our database of national norms based on institutional type, colleges, universities and technical schools in performance funding, states (such as Tennessee) use the CCTST precisely for this purpose.
