BEYOND THE NORMS
Understand how a student learns before choosing how to support them.
A Strengths-Based Approach to Intervention and Acceleration
A strengths-based learning profile can help explain why a capable student excels in some situations and struggles in others, then connect those patterns to practical strategies.

Actionable learning strategies
Executive Function Skill Development through a Strengths-Based Lens
Development of self-awareness and self-management skills are central to every student's MindPrint experience and their lifelong success. MindPrint is the only solution to use objective data so students develop self-awareness, self-efficacy, and growth mindset, the essential competencies they need to grow and thrive.
Students develop self-awareness and learn to self-advocate with their student learner profile.
WHEN GRADES DO NOT TELL THE WHOLE STORY
The same academic difficulty can come from very different cognitive demands.
Performance feels inconsistent
The student succeeds one day and struggles with a similar task the next.
Work takes unexpectedly long
Strong understanding may be hidden by processing, memory, attention, or planning demands.
Strategies work unevenly
A method helps in one subject or environment and creates more difficulty in another.
Reading does not stick
They can read the material and still have difficulty retaining or retrieving it.
Grades feel perplexing
Classroom performance does not seem to match the student’s reasoning, knowledge or understanding.
You want to build from strengths
Support can use the student’s strongest ways of reasoning, remembering, and understanding.
WHAT MINDPRINT MEASURES
Four domains. Ten cognitive skills.
One connected learning profile.
Executive Functions
Skills used to direct attention, shift approaches, and hold information in mind.
-
Attention
-
Working memory
-
Flexible thinking
Memory
How efficiently new verbal and visual information is learned and recalled.
-
Verbal memory
-
Visual memory
Complex Reasoning
How a learner identifies patterns, relationships, language, and solutions.
-
Verbal reasoning
-
Abstract reasoning
-
Spatial perception
Processing
How quickly and accurately information is recognized and acted upon.
-
Visual speed
-
Motor speed
What in-school achievement tests won't tell you
Cognitive Skills
MindPrint offers objective assessments in key areas such as executive functions, complex reasoning, memory, and processing speed, enabling teachers to effectively support students in each subject.
"MindPrint's ability to show such high levels of predictability is unprecedented in K-12. Now that we can pinpoint the reasons for students’ challenges in areas of cognition, engagement or social-emotional skills, we have the capability to dramatically improve outcomes for students at all achievement levels."
Senior Research Scientist
Research & Efficacy
MindPrint's cognitive screener was created by neuroscientists from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania with funding from a National Institutes of Health grant. This online assessment is both reliable and efficient, making it the choice of NASA for evaluating astronauts during extended space missions.
Why parents need MindPrint
Parents are their child's most important advocates. MindPrint provides the objective data you need to advocate for your child at every phase of development.
MindPrint provides your family with the tools they need to be successful in and out of school.
"I don't think I've ever seen a test that kids can take that gives you more information about them. Unlike other tests, MindPrint actually helps you understand the deeper recesses of a child's mind. I haven't seen anything close to it in my 41 years in education."

HOW THE PROCESS WORKS
Complete the tasks at home, then receive a usable learning profile.
The goal is to connect cognitive patterns to everyday learning demands, including reading, writing, mathematics, studying, organization, and independent work.
Purchase access
Access will be created for you within 24 hours and you will receive the assessment instructions.
Complete the online tasks
The learner works through puzzle-like computerized activities in a quiet setting.
Generate the learning profile
Results are organized into relative strengths and areas where additional support may improve access.
Connect results to strategies
Results and recommendations which supports are most worth trying for their profile will be sent within 48 hours of test being finished.
SAT vs ACT INCLUDED FOR 8th THROUGH 12th GRADERS
The only neuroscience-backed SAT/ACT test prep guide.
SAT or ACT?
Quantification of which test is better and by how much based on MindPrint comparisons of the student's natural test-taking capabilities and the nuanced differences between the two tests.
Prioritization
Reports identifying the sub-tests where a student has the most opportunity for growth so students spend time most effectively.
Score Range
Precise composite and sub-score projections based on proprietary statistical models developed by MindPrint's in-house data science expert and former ACT Inc. Principal Research Scientist.
Curated Strategies
Recommendations for the highest impact strategies based on the student's cognitive strengths and needs.
IMPORTANT BOUNDARIES
What the assessment does not do
While the test can be used as a screening tool for learning difficulties, it does not diagnose ADHD, autism, dyslexia, or another medical or educational condition.
It is not a full psychoeducational or neuropsychological evaluation. Those require direct observation by a trained clinician.
Results should be considered alongside the learner’s history, environment, academics, and real-life functioning. An additional Executive Functioning Assessment that can be combined with the MindPrint results is available for students enrolled in coaching or classes with Beyond the Norms.
Formal accommodation or eligibility decisions may require evaluation by the appropriate licensed professional or school team.
