NEW YORK, June 18 – There can never be a better way to kick-start your next grade than taking a free self-assessment test this summer. Hold on. You don’t have to go anywhere. It is right there in the comfort of your home, just a click away

The K-12 students in this country never had it so good. Thanks to an initiative by TCYonline.com, the leaders in one-on-one Online Live Math tutoring in North America, the students can take a test and evaluate their performance by taking a scientifically designed 40-minute assessment test at home.

These multiple-choice (comprising 20 questions) tests are available for Grade 3 through Grade 12. All a student has to do is register on the website www.tcyonline.com, choose her State and grade. And, there you go. These assessment tests, conforming to different State standards, are presently available for ten States.

“The real barometer of success today is to assess yourself once in a while. It is all the more pertinent for a student to benchmark himself or herself with other students to know about his/her grey areas,” according to the CEO of TCYonline.com, Kamal Wadhera.

Interestingly enough, these tests help students to know their actual grade level learning. These will determine if a student learning at a certain grade level actually ‘belongs to’ that grade or not. If a student fares below par then it will inform him/her to fill in the gaps by studying lower grade concepts.

On the other hand, if he performs ‘exceptionally well’, it will guide him/her to go for the next level of learning. Whatever the outcome, it is all a win-win situation for the student. The gains are tremendous.

It is noteworthy that these self-assessment tests are ideal for preparing for State exams like ISAT and FCAT, CAHSEE, ISTEP etc. too.

Some Salient features:
