Overview

The test taken around the world

TOFAS is a global online assessment test taken in a growing number of countries.

Because of its international presence, it facilitates a global comparison for students and educational institutions – valuable insight in the age of globalization.

It is designed to help educators, parents, and students by measuring Fundamental Academic Skills, the building blocks of learning. The tests yield valuable insight into a student's academic skills and – because they are taken online around the world – provide the basis for global ranking.

The importance of FAS

A successful education – and a successful future – is built on Fundamental Academic Skills (FAS). They are the basic skills required to do well in school. Mastering FAS enables students to achieve their full academic potential and, ultimately, a highly successful future.

TOFAS currently focuses on two FAS: calculation, and programming.
