Improve your admission procedures with ITB
Since 1972…
… ITB develops specific and general scholastic aptitude tests for various fields of study. We help organisations in higher education to improve their admission procedures. We help applicants to discover their potential and get a fair chance in admission.
Why do organisations in higher education use our tests? Our tests…
- help to identify the best applicants by improving the prediction of academic success and providing an objective assessment which compensates for differences in grades. They can also increase diversity and fairness.
- are flexible to handle and can make admission procedures simple and efficient.
- are developed and evaluated by certified psychologists according to international scientific standards of psychological assessment. The modules we use have shown good reliability and validity in empirical studies.
- are guided by the EU's data protection standards, which are among the strictest in the world.
- can hardly be trained - no one can gain an advantage with expensive preparatory courses.
