Test Processing and Logistics
AIR offers a full range of paper-based testing and processing service, from test production through scanning, scoring, and reporting. All are designed for accuracy, efficiency, and security.
Material Ordering. AIR's Test Information Distribution Engine (TIDE) provides an easy-to-use and flexible registration and ordering tool. Read more...
TIDE allows AIR to interact with test coordinators (TCs) to upload student demographic information and order testing materials. State-level users can oversee TC activity and approve or deny order requests. Order files are then extracted to package and ship materials.

AIR uses digital print technologies to streamline the test materials review and approval process and to provide the ability to personalize test forms.
Security Processing. AIR’s ReturnDocs system tracks all materials expected back as well as those already received. Read more...
ReturnDocs tracks returned shipments by school and/or district and creates detailed missing materials reports for each entity.
Scanning. AIR's high-speed scanners allow for quick and accurate turnaround on any project. Read more...
Each of AIR's scanners can capture up to 30,000 images per hour. Each scanner feeds images into multiple software processes that assign scores to every bubble.
Constructed-Response (CR) Scoring. All images are fed into AIR's image-based CR scoring system to be read by highly trained scorers. Read more...
AIR's trained and certified scorers work in teams to apply rubric-based scores to each item they encounter. Secure access allows our clients and partners to monitor progress and quality in real time.
