Growing Demand for Psychometric Testing Software in South Africa
Each January, matriculants discover whether their NSC results and APS are enough for the degree they wanted, and some learn that a Grade 10 subject choice has already closed a door. Employers, meanwhile, need assessment processes that stand up to Employment Equity Act scrutiny.
Several factors contributing to this growth include:
- The Mathematics versus Mathematical Literacy decision at the end of Grade 9
- Competitive university admission based on APS and, at many institutions, the NBTs
- Large Life Orientation classes with little time for one-to-one guidance
- Growing interest in TVET colleges, learnerships and artisan routes
- Bursary providers wanting structured information when shortlisting
- Legal expectations for valid, fair and unbiased workplace testing
Online assessment lets schools and employers reach more people with the same counselling capacity, and focus expert time where it adds most value.
