Has your child’s academic performance indicated that he or she should be placed in a gifted program?
Do you want more clarity on your child’s specific strengths?
Do any of your student’s talents overshadow potential learning gaps he or she may have?
If so, you child will benefit from taking an independent diagnostic assessment.
Traditional assessments focus on what students know and can do, and are limited in their abilities to define what academic strengths and gaps exist.
In addition, traditional academic tests assess a specific grade level, where Gaptify adapts to a student’s knowledge and provides easier or more challenging questions based on your student’s responses.
When students are identified as gifted, talented, or advanced, sometimes they are assumed to be strong in every academic area. Likewise, oftentimes these students aren’t challenged or given new opportunities to learn and grow academically.
By assessing their true ability and academic levels, parents and other stakeholders can have clarity into their student’s strengths or gaps.
Gifted testing is used to identify gifted or advanced students. While regulations vary by state and district, these diagnostic assessments are required to determine a student’s eligibility for gifted or advanced studies. Used in conjunction with other identifiers, they serve as a benchmark requirement for students who display higher than average learning capabilities.
These diagnostic tests are used to appropriately place students at certain academic levels. Results are modeled off of a scoring system measuring students’ performance against their peers. Qualifying scores from these placement tests are then used to grant eligibility for certain programs with more advanced curriculum.
Achievement tests are used to identify academic areas where a student excels. These quantitative tests score students based on their level of knowledge compared to that of their peers. OLSAT for example, is a nationally-standardized achievement test that measures a student’s verbal, non-verbal, and quantitative abilities.
While achievement tests help to pinpoint a student’s academic strengths, the results fall short of providing more granular detail into a student’s overall learning abilities and identify any areas of weakness.

A research-based, online assessment tool for today’s students.
Gaptify identifies specific skills and practices that individual students need to master in order to be proficient in their grade-level standards. The concise assessment adapts to the level of the tester and focuses on identifying both strengths and areas of concern.
Gaptify was developed in partnership with classroom teachers and education experts, and designed to be administered directly to students in grades K-12.
The tool captures valuable insights used to personalize an improvement plan specific to students’ individual needs. The learning plan enables students to make significant improvements not only in their understanding of, but also in their retention of critical concepts.
Our diagnostic assessment can be administered online, anytime and from anywhere, with most results available immediately. In fact, Gaptify remains one of the only assessments that can be administered remotely.
In addition to this swift turnaround, innovative technology captures valuable data to help educators develop a more robust, individualized learning plan for each student.
Gaptify adapts to the specific knowledge level of each tester, changing the difficulty of questions and reading passages based on tester responses.
As a result, Gaptify can pinpoint learning gaps and offer educators a stronger understanding of areas in which a student excels and areas in need of improvement through intervention.
Our reports are based solely on each student’s individual performance. Reports include the number of questions answered correctly, standards where a student displayed strength, and standards where a student needs to improve.
