Reports
Many academic program directors have expressed an interest in learning more about the certification examination performance of their graduates. In response to this interest, AMT has developed helpful reports that compare aggregate examinee performance for school graduates against a national benchmark. Detailed and summary statistics are available for both total score and content sub-areas of the examination. Program administrators report that this type of information is often helpful in identifying programmatic strengths and weaknesses.

Note: One of the many benefits of AMT's migration to computer-based testing has been a greater ability to gather, process, and report performance data. The report pictured above is available ONLY for schools testing graduates through the Pearson VUE testing channel. Schools that employ computer-based testing may obtain a copy of the report addressing aggregate performance information for their programs by contacting the AMT Registrar's Office at 847-823-5169.
