Assessment Systems is an organization that provides an online assessment platform and psychometric services. Its core product is FastTest—an end-to-end online exam platform that emphasizes security and psychometric science. It is officially positioned as a "digital assessment platform" for publishing better exams faster, and it provides an ecosystem covering the full exam lifecycle: item bank development, exam delivery, proctoring, candidate portals, and psychometric services.
[Main Capabilities] FastTest supports the complete cycle of high-stakes or large-scale exams (such as certification exams and K-12 benchmark testing). Specific capabilities include: smarter, shorter exams through IRT and adaptive testing; configurable security, from watermarking to proctoring to locking; enhanced branding through white-labeling and an embeddable engine; and support for multiple delivery methods such as unproctored, own-site, online proctoring, and test centers. In item writing and item bank management, FastTest provides item authoring, large item bank management, and test assembly functions. It is officially stated to reduce SME bottlenecks, support dozens of item types, facilitate republishing, track metadata to support validity, manage one's own Angoff studies, and secure content through roles, tags, and MFA. The platform also provides a modern API architecture, with specific APIs such as registered candidates and sending scores, and can embed tests into a fully branded platform, with SSO support.
[Psychometrics and Consulting Services] Assessment Systems has a team of psychometric experts and provides test design and development (job analysis, blueprints, item writing workshops, publishing, QA, SME management), psychometrics and statistics (item and test analysis, equating, standard setting, test validation, and advanced methods such as IRT and CAT), project management (manual preparation, online exam scheduling and proctoring), and certification accreditation (against international standards such as NCCA or ANSI/ISO). It is officially stated to help ensure that online exams comply with international standards, including NCCA, ANSI, and the AERA/APA/NCME North Star benchmarks.
[Security and Compliance] Official information states that Assessment Systems has undergone independent audits for SOC2 Type II, WCAG, and FedRAMP. The platform provides role-based access control, MFA, proctoring, locking, and content-level permissions to protect every stage of the exam, and can assist in developing test security plans and forensics.
[Applicable Scenarios] Three main scenarios are officially listed: certification and licensure (item banks, proctored delivery, branded candidate portals, and assisSupports NCCA/ANAB accreditation); Workforce and Employment (civil service selection, skills testing, competency verification, managing candidate processes, scheduling, delivery, and reporting, with scores immediately available via API); K-12 and Higher Education (benchmark assessments, placement/admissions tests, summative exams, using adaptive and multistage algorithms, providing insightful reports, and embeddable white-label engine). Officially stated to have hundreds of partners and millions of exams.
[Usage and Limitations] Users can apply for a trial account to experience FastTest, or communicate with psychometricians/assessment experts; they can also request a demo from a product specialist. The official statement notes that because the platform is aimed at professional-grade scenarios rather than simple quizzes, pricing starts at $5,950 per year. The platform is not suitable for low-quality assessments (such as well-being surveys), and is mainly aimed at high-stakes testing such as professional certification or college admissions.
[Information Not Yet Provided] Apart from the starting price, more detailed pricing tiers, specific API documentation, independent pricing for each functional module, and details of deployment methods are not yet provided in the materials.
