The easiest way to determine student educational needs and monitor learners' progress.

GAIN-banner-img

Unfortunately, students don’t come with a handbook explaining where their academic strengths and weaknesses lie.

So you need a way to identify and monitor students’
progress in adult basic education programs.

We’ve got that way - the Wonderlic General
Assessment of Instructional Needs (GAIN).

Quick, yet comprehensive, GAIN measures basic English and math skills – from basic literacy and numeracy, to advanced skills taught in secondary schools as defined by the NRS’ Educational Functioning Levels. GAIN’s two forms can be used for pre-, progress-, or post-testing to show progress in skill development.

It is ideal for workforce development programs, literacy programs, youth programs, correctional facilities, and students entering adult education programs.

Are you ready to GAIN some perspective on your applicants?
Yeah, we went there.
