Exam development and validation
YouScience® is contracted nationwide to create and administer certification exams for school districts, states, and industry.
With our exams, we offer multiple reports that help administrators, teachers, and industry leaders gauge where participants fall in the certification process. The data helps users determine where to focus to improve scores, and measures student growth throughout the length of the course.

We work with employers and community leaders to ensure industry needs are part of each curriculum and reflected in our exam standards.
