The International Diagnostic and Admissions Test (IDAT) is a revolutionary way to test students from K-12 on English (language & literature), STEM, Logic, and Critical Thinking. The assessment includes an interview with an avatar for schools to view and a character self-assessment to show students’ attitudes, aptitudes, and preferred learning styles. The IDAT creates a profile of incoming students for benchmarking, admissions decisions, diagnostics for future learning and for scholarship appropriateness. The IDAT is conducted entirely at a computer with secure proctoring in the comfort of a student’s own home (the IDAT Secure 360), or in the school proctored by teaching staff. The IDAT is changing the way schools ‘get to know’ their new students from all over the globe.
