ASSET is a diagnostic test which actually helps students improve their academic performance. Unlike regular tests which try only to find out how much a child knows (or has memorized), ASSET measures how well a student has understood concepts and gives detailed feedback on the same, to help them improve. Thus ASSET helps each student know whether he/she has actually understood a concept or not early on so that immediate action can be taken. Often students have conceptual gaps which increase as they progress and when they reach the higher classes, they develop a “phobia” for the subject.

• Based on the Indian curriculum (CBSE, ICSE and state boards)
• Detailed Skill-wise feedback with customized letter for every student
• Conducted in the school during school hours

ASSET is unlike other tests in many different ways. It…

• has interesting questions that require thinking, not simply recall
• provides detailed skill-wise feedback highlighting strengths and weaknesses
• provides a benchmark of the student’s performance with peers all over the country

Further, ASSET does not have many of the disadvantages associated with other tests. It does not

• require preparation or create pressure on students before the test
• expect children to write long answers or essays
• leave students after the test without any guidelines on how to improve

Thus, ASSET focuses on IMPROVEMENT rather than comparison or grading. It also reduces the stress of exams by checking UNDERSTANDING rather than FACTS.

The school offers it to its entire student population from Class III to Class X. More information is also available at EI’s website - www.ei-india.com.
