Clients can use the advanced applications of ACTS' TestManager (link) software to administer their paper-and-pencil examinations. This allows clients to take advantage of the software's features without having to convert to an online testing. These include:

With ACTS' TestManager (link) software, non-technical professionals can create sophisticated exams where questions and answers can include graphics, audio, and video. ACTS can provide you with the robust, feature-rich qualities of TestManager and the security of proctored exam sites in any city across the US and Canada, or in major cities in 14 other countries.
ACTS produces diagnostic score reports outlining the performance of each candidate. This allows candidates to evaluate how well they did on each section of the exam for future study efforts. In addition, a report is generated detailing the pool of candidates' responses to each question. The client can then assess the effectiveness of each test question on an ongoing basis and determine if questions need to be updated or replaced.
