Testing However You Need It
Assessment Options
Online Testing
NBS has developed QuadNet, an online delivery system that delivers over 90 percent of our assessments. Assessments delivered through QuadNet include the following features:
- Scrambled delivery sequence of test items
- Immediate test results for the coordinator and/or test taker
- Text-to-speech capability for individuals with relevant special needs (varies per test)
- Dual-platform delivery options (PC and Mac)
- Delivery of tests in multiple sessions
- Delivery of tests available in multiple languages
Paper/Pencil
If testing through the QuadNet portal is not an option, NBS delivers paper/pencil assessments at the request of our clients. We will ship booklets and answer sheets to the client for test administration. Upon completion of the assessment session, clients send answer sheets back to NBS for scoring. Score reports are available in the Client Services Center online portal two business days after we receive answer sheets in our office.
Custom Testing
NBS is proud to accommodate the unique needs of our clients by offering Customized Assessments. With custom-built tests, we develop assessments entirely on the material and information you desire. NBS also provides specialized services for language translation and text-to-speech services, providing accessibility for all test takers.
Data that Makes Sense

Comprehensive Score Reporting
Providing employers and managers with transparent data and information is our primary objective at NBS. Our comprehensive score reporting gives insight into how a candidate performed in each competency. Standard Score Reports include access to our Testing Management Dashboard for individual and group scoring.
Custom Reporting
When circumstances call for more specific data types, we also offer custom reporting. With our custom reports, employers and managers can receive gap, demographic, and task-link analysis data, or reporting specific to their organization.
