Put Your Assessments Online
At PSTC, we specialize in helping organizations like yours migrate your existing paper-and-pencil tests and surveys to the web. Regardless of whether you're a small employer in a single site, or a major corporation with sites spread across the country, PSTC can get your assessments online.

We also specialize in test development services, including the ability to use item response theory (IRT) to calibrate assessment tests, and to use computer-adaptive testing (CAT) to administer tests in a time-efficient fashion that maintains measurement quality.

To make your transition to a web-based system as easy and successful as possible, you need a team made up of people with a wide range of skills. At PSTC, we've got all the critical bases covered.

Web programming expertise
Our programmers have the skills necessary to produce an efficient, stable, and secure web-based assessment system. For over 20 years, PSTC has been providing software-development services to our clients. We specialize in developing Java-based, platform-neutral, web-based assessment solutions.

Psychometric test development expertise
Many firms have the programming skills required to put a simple survey or assessment test online; however, few have the combination of skilled web programmers plus Ph.D.-level staff who are trained in test development and advanced psychometric methods. As our publications page illustrates, PSTC's consultants are both well trained in cutting-edge psychometric methods based on item-response theory (IRT), and committed to contributing to the professional literature on these topics.

"Open Standards" philosophy
Although we spent many years developing C and C++ based software designed to run on 16- and 32-bit versions of Windows, in today's environment the smart strategy involves embracing "open" standards for software development. At PSTC, we develop web services using Java technology, and we specialize in server-side Java (JSPs, Java beans, and Java servlets) to implement our web-based assessment solutions.
