Diagnostics, Progress Tests & Mock Tests
At Bright Kids, we provide a diverse range of diagnostics and progress tests specifically designed for children of all ages. These diagnostics and progress tests evaluate cognitive and academic skills, sub-skills, and aptitudes, enabling us to gain a comprehensive understanding of each child's unique abilities and areas for development and how they progress through the tutoring sessions. Our tailored testing approach prepares students for tests by equipping them with the confidence and knowledge needed to excel in their academic pursuits.

Diagnostics
At Bright Kids, we offer comprehensive diagnostic assessments to accurately evaluate a student's cognitive and academic skills across various subjects. These assessments serve as the foundation for creating a personalized tutoring curriculum tailored to meet each student's unique needs.
Diagnostics are available for all the exams we prepare for, and during the assessment, students work through test questions similar to the actual exams in a supportive 1:1 setting with an experienced exam proctor. Our proctors closely monitor the testing experience, taking note of effective strategies such as pacing and process of elimination.
Once the diagnostic is complete and thoroughly analyzed, parents receive a comprehensive score report on the student's portal page, and our dedicated Account Managers are available to discuss the results and guide parents through potential next steps.
Progress Tests
We offer detailed progress assessments to evaluate a student's growth and proficiency across a variety of subjects. The purpose of these assessments is to measure the impact of our tutoring sessions and track how much progress a student has made. These assessments are designed to identify areas of improvement and allow us to adjust the curriculum to better meet the student's evolving needs, ensuring continued academic growth.
Progress tests are available for all the subjects we cover such as Stanford-Binet, ISEE, SSAT, and during the test, students work through questions that reflect the format and difficulty level of their target exams. The tests are administered in a focused, one-on-one setting with a trained exam proctor who ensures a positive and supportive environment. Our proctors observe closely, noting key strategies such as time management, pacing, and problem-solving techniques.
We compare the results of the initial diagnostic with subsequent assessments to track progress and identify areas that need further attention. Based on these insights, we adjust the tutoring curriculum to better align with the student's strengths and weaknesses.
Once the progress test is completed and thoroughly reviewed, parents receive an in-depth report of the results on their student’s portal. Our dedicated team is available to discuss the findings and help guide families on the best approach to address any areas for improvement, ensuring that each student continues to progress toward their academic goals.
Following the progress test, a comprehensive summary, score report, and tailored tutoring recommendations are compiled and made available on your Bright Kids portal page for thorough review. We encourage parents to reach out to their dedicated Account Manager to discuss the assessment results and explore potential next steps.
