What is IVY TEST?
IVY TEST is an assessment and learning-record service operated by CS&E INC. It connects practice results with original responses, available source evidence, assessment history, and educator review.
See the product in contextWhich assessments does IVY TEST currently support?
The current public service describes independent TOEFL®-style and Digital SAT®-style practice assessments. Availability varies by plan, role, country, institution settings, content license, and technical readiness.
Review the current offer listIs IVY TEST an official TOEFL or SAT service?
No. TOEFL® and TOEFL iBT® are registered trademarks of ETS, and SAT® is a registered trademark of College Board. ETS and College Board have not produced, sponsored, endorsed, or approved IVY TEST. References describe independent practice materials and assessment workflows.
Read the trademark noticeWhat makes IVY TEST different from a score-only practice site?
A score is kept connected to the work behind it. Where the assessment record permits, a learner or educator can move from a class or attempt result to the original response, the relevant source material, recorded timing, feedback, and review state instead of treating the number as the whole story.
Explore a learning recordDoes IVY TEST guarantee a higher TOEFL or SAT score?
No. Practice scores, predictions, feedback, and reports are educational tools. They are not official scores, admissions decisions, or guarantees of score improvement or any other educational outcome.

What can a student review?
Depending on the connected assessment, a student can review recorded responses, question-level results, source material, assessment history, original writing or speaking work, and teacher feedback. Missing, pending, and confirmed records remain distinct.
See the student experienceWhat can a teacher or academy inspect?
Educators can begin with class patterns, filter by a result or answer choice, open an individual learner record, inspect the original response, and compare the recorded judgment with its supporting evidence. Features depend on the institution configuration and available records.
Open the academy workspaceDoes reviewing a result automatically publish it?
No. Review, confirmation, and publication are separate decisions. An institution can keep a judgment provisional, correct or confirm it, and decide what is ready to share with students or guardians.
See the review workflowWhat does IVY TEST support beyond a practice test?
The service focuses on assessment assignment, managed exam operations, response collection, grading, educator review, analysis, report release, and related question review or follow-up. Learner and class records support that exam workflow. Availability depends on the connected service and institution configuration.
Read the service scopeAre the records shown on this public website real student records?
No. Public examples use fictional learners and synthetic records. They illustrate interactions and review states rather than showing live production records. Authenticated educational records remain subject to the applicable privacy and institution controls.

How does IVY TEST use AI?
IVY TEST may use Google Gemini and other Google Cloud services for transcription, preliminary grading, feedback, content quality checks, analytics, and recommendations. It may also use Google Gemini, OpenAI services, and Anthropic Claude services for content development and quality review. The provider depends on the task and configuration; every record is not sent to every provider. AI output can be incomplete, incorrect, delayed, or unavailable.
Read about AI-assisted processingDoes AI make the final educational decision?
Objective answers may be scored automatically. Speaking and writing can combine an AI-generated preliminary result with educator review, change, or confirmation. Institutions remain responsible for important educational decisions and final publication.
Read the AI and review termsAre IVY TEST questions created only by AI?
No. AI may assist with candidate work and quality checks, but every released question is edited, reviewed, and approved by a human. IVY TEST does not publish unreviewed AI output as a finished question.
Read about human reviewHow does IVY TEST avoid copying existing exam content?
Reviewers may study unprotected formats, assessed skills, broad trends, and difficulty targets. Before release, a human compares the passage, stem, answer choices, and explanation with the reference materials. A candidate that reproduces, or remains substantially similar to, protected source expression is rejected or rewritten.
Read the release standardCan a student ask for human review?
A student or guardian may ask the institution or CS&E for human review of a materially consequential automated result. The available path depends on who manages the account and the relevant assessment record.
Review data and decision rightsHow does IVY TEST design practice questions?
The public design standard asks whether one answer is defensible from the supplied evidence and whether each competing choice is wrong for a precise reason. Automated checks can support that inspection, but a human edits the final language and makes the release decision.
Examine a finished questionWhat does IVY TEST monitor during a managed exam?
A managed exam may record timers, synchronization, answer changes, submission evidence, browser visibility or focus events, full-screen status when used, device and network state, and recording status. IVY TEST does not activate the webcam or record continuous screen video. Speaking sections may record microphone audio with the required notice and consent.
