Assessment Systems is a US-based assessment technology and consulting company whose platform is built for organizations running high-stakes, high-volume exams: certification boards, government HR and licensure bodies, pre-employment programs, universities, and K-12 assessment programs. The core product, FastTest, covers the full assessment lifecycle, from authoring and reviewing items in large banks to assembling test forms, publishing them securely, and analyzing results.
The platform goes well beyond basic multiple-choice quiz software. It supports modern psychometrics such as item response theory (IRT), computerized adaptive testing (CAT), multistage testing (MST) and LOFT, online essay marking, and AI-assisted tools for item development and content detection. Delivery-side features include live and recorded remote proctoring, a test center network, lockdown and watermarking security controls, and a white-label, embeddable engine so organizations can keep their own branding.
On top of the software, Assessment Systems sells consulting: job task analysis, item writing, Angoff standard-setting studies, psychometric analysis, test security audits, and full certification program management. Companion products like Iteman (CTT analysis), Xcalibre (IRT software), and TestAssembler support classical and modern analysis workflows, while the Credicycle candidate portal handles applications, payments, badge issuance, and renewals. Pricing is quoted per engagement.
