ATI College Prep Tests Part of the ATI Comprehensive Assessment System

Many states are now using college entrance exams as part of their statewide testing programs. The use of these assessments represents a significant change in statewide assessment programs and in the demands placed on teachers and students participating in those programs. ATI has responded to the challenges created by the college entrance examination movement by developing assessments designed to prepare students for effective participation in college entrance examinations and to forecast performance on those examinations. Data from these assessments also assist educators to select interventions to help students improve in specific skill areas.


As part of the ATI comprehensive assessment system, ATI now offers standards-aligned College Prep benchmark assessments for English language arts, math, and science. These tests reflect the assessment rigor found in the items and passages included in the latest versions of nationally accepted college entrance examinations. Moreover, ATI's Assessment and Instructional Design Department has developed standards mapped to college preparatory state standards. These standards and the assessments aligned to them are updated as state standards and assessments change. 

Learn more and order the ATI College Prep Tests by contacting ATI's Educational Management Services team.

To support our vast network of clients across the nation, ATI now provides both Galileo Pre-K and Galileo K-12 educational services through the Amazon Web Services (AWS). AWS is a cloud computing platform. Cloud computing is the on-demand delivery of IT applications and resources via the Internet. AWS is the market leader, providing a scalable and secure cloud computing platform. ATI’s configuration on AWS expands and allocates additional resources as needed (scale-out) and deallocates resources as the workload decreases (scale-in). This flexibility ensures the right resources are available at the right time for Galileo users.  

Through AWS, ATI provides a seamless integration of assessment, curriculum, and reporting aligned with your District/ Charter/ Program's curriculum and scheduling requirements. Whether you serve a few or thousands of learners, our system gives you the security, efficiency, and reliability you need to meet educational goals and responsibilities throughout the year. Moreover, our application infrastructure on the cloud is spread across multiple AWS data centers, also called availability zones. This means even if an Amazon data center were to experience downtime, Galileo would continue to run without interruption ensuring both students and educators have smooth testing, instructional, and reporting experiences.   


With Galileo Online, we’re creating cutting edge technology solutions to promote learning.
