Success definition revision and measurements



  • Users of Test Innovators’ website and curriculum will have a predictable outcome when they take the actual ISEE test down to the exact stanine. This comes from a comparison of aggregated data from other students in the same grade level to accurately display the user’s stanine in relation to their competing students. This allows them to prepare accordingly.
o   Average scores of users of the site will be 10% better than average scores of the general population that didn’t use the site.
o   Users will be able to predict their stanine within one stanine number which will be collected through a questionnaire after they take the exam.
  • Users will have confidence that they prepared in an effective way by using the site. 
o   Users will be given a quick survey at the completion of their study curriculum on how confident they are to meet their goals with the ISEE. On a scale of 1 to 5, the average user will rate a 4 or higher.


The full site's curriculum has not yet been released. It will be released by Capstone night on June 5th. Our success definitions will provide us with a basis to measure our objectives but the issue with the current deadline is that there is not enough time. With these measurements, we will be collecting data after the student has completed the curriculum. The issue with this is that since the curriculum is only now being released, we need to wait until the students have fully completed it. This will take a couple months which will be far past the completion of this class. Our project is to help students take standardized tests more effectively. Since this is based on the users, we need user feedback. The most valuable feedback to test our success definitions is after the students have fully completed out curriculum which will take additional time.
