The ASSET Talent Search Test is an advanced test that challenges students to apply their learning and thinking by answering stimulating questions, which are not usually asked in standard tests.

Test Benefits :
Grade-level tests may not always challenge academically gifted students sufficiently and reflect their true potential.

The ASSET Talent Search Test addresses this problem by accurately distinguishing the difference between students who are proficient in topics pertaining to their current learning level and students who possess the ability to undertake topics beyond their grade level

For students and parents who feel their children are academically gifted, this test can be a starting point that validates their belief, helping them plan their academic future according to their inherent potential.

ASSET Talent Search welcomes, identifies and guides academically gifted students. It gives them recognition and provides them with learning opportunities to help them reach their true potential. We believe that early identification of their talent enables them to steer their future in a direction best suited to their strengths and potential.

In this brochure you will find information on ASSET Talent Search and how gifted students benefit through the programme.
