Individual Learnometer Student Reports appear 72 hours after the test has been completed for a given student.

Is there some form of recognition for students who achieve high scores within the school / grade?

Learnometer is diagnostic in nature and not to encourage competition. Hence, there's no formal recognition of students performing well.

Will Learnometer reports only go to parents, or will the school management also have access to it through the Universal?

Yes, all individual student reports as well as a school level report with aggregated Learnometer data by school, grade, and section will be included in the Management Zone on Universal.

Can the school conduct Learnometer more than once during the year cycle?

The Learnometer test is a once-yearly exam. Scores from previous years along with student progress over time analysis will also be available in each year's report.

Some schools feel Learnometer would be apt from Grade 6 onwards. In that case what needs to be done?

Age 5+ onwards is a good time to introduce students to formal testing. This also trains students in attempting more rigorous testing later.

Does Learnometer have recognition from any council or body?

No Organization or Body validates/recognizes any assessment/Olympiads in India.

Will the student report be sent to parent email IDs or to the school’s email ID?

The school can set the report delivery settings in the School Settings section of the Management Zone in XSEED Universal. Settings can be customised to set the reports to be delivered to parents, schools, or both.

Can schools add or delete subjects in Learnometer?

Learnometer assesses students on their competencies, in the context of concepts learnt. It is not really an assessment of subject knowledge. Subjects thus can't be changed.
