Ujjwal Singh, Vice President, Product K12, Pearson India said that assessing learning on an on-going basis is important to get a clear understanding of where the student is doing well and what areas need special attention.  At Pearson, we are constantly thinking of newer and better approaches to learning. While the method of learning is changing, it is imperative for us to work on newer ways of measuring skills and results. He added that MyPedia Achievement Test does this. It is built around inquiry-based, experimental learning and embraces individual differences of students, it also encourages students to think out-of-the-box and be problem solvers.

The test has been specially designed to facilitate seamless student engagement and scope for individual, differentiated assessment.  One of the most compelling features of the achievement test is that it aims to bridge gap between teachers, students and parents. It allows parents to monitor the child's achievement level and receive guidance for home involvement. Another special feature of the test is that it not only measures what students know but also assesses what they are able to do with that knowledge.
