What Sets us Apart

RankStudent.com offers you a powerful method that is a game changer in exam prep. It is based on Learning by Testing used by NASA and uses one of the most sophisticated algorithms to analyze the performance of students. It offers immense benefits to both teachers and students.

Experiments have shown that 70% of learning in humans is through doing. Only 10% is through cartoons, TV, animations and other sources. The RankStudent.com method is therefore built upon student engagement, testing, measurement and continuous improvement. It is shown to improve exam scores by 20 to 50 percent.

Testing

Testing is the most effective and unbiased method of evaluating performance.

We have used the method from the best institutions in the world such as Caltech, Cornell and New York University. In our method, the students use Tablets, PCs, laptops or hand held devices to take their tests and know the results immediately. In some applications, smart phones can also be used to access our tests

Standardized testing levels the playing field between urban and rural areas, between the advantaged and the disadvantaged.

Research has shown that non-standard testing can lead to wide variations in evaluation. The same paper that is rated excellent by one teacher can be rated average by another teacher. In the absence of comprehensive standardized measurements, some teachers may skip certain topics or sections and prefer other sections or chapters.  

Standardized testing enables school administrators and state level agencies to measure teacher effectiveness and school performance. If there are deficiencies, remedial steps can be taken.

Engage student

We engage the student through the use of Tablets, PCs and in some cases mobile phones.

Tests have shown that engagement and active participation is a key to content retention. Students tend to perform better with active learning.

Help for the teachers

We use digital technology to lessen the burden on teachers for testing and evaluation so that they can focus on their core function, which is teaching.

                                                                                                                                      

We use the NASA method

We have used the NASA method where complex systems are broken into simpler ones, built and tested, and reintegrated to produce the complete system.

For instance, in the NASA Hubble Space Telescope, on which our Chief Mentor Professor Ahmed was a Chief Scientist, the Optical Telescope Assembly was divided into a large number of subsystems.

         

In a similar manner, RankStudent.com breaks down complex questions into simple ones.  We show the student how to analyze the complex questions that appear in JEE, JEE Advanced and NEET exams.

Measurement: The "scientific" method is based on measurement. We measure the student's performance to obtain quantitative data on how he learns.  

Analysis: We use one of the most sophisticated analytics layer in the world. We perfected it from our work for the National Women's Business Council in Washington, DC. This is not available elsewhere.

                    

Continuous Improvement

Based on testing, measurement and analysis, we guide the student step by step, section by section, chapter by chapter towards continuous performance improvement.                 

Repetition and Pattern Recognition

Digital technology enables a student to repeat a test, or a combination of tests as many times as possible so that learning process becomes subconscious, question pattern recognition becomes easier and taking an exam becomes "routine". Exam anxiety is eliminated. Scores go up.

 NASA drills the astronauts during their training so that functionality in space becomes "routine" and "subconscious" for the astronaut. Similar is the case whether one is training a pilot, a cricket superstar or a rank student. We have adopted this NASA methodology.

                    

                

Every student learns at his/her own speed

Digital technology enables each student to learn at his/her own pace. A student may repeat an exam question any number of times until he masters the subject

Ask Questions

Our learning system enables a student to ask the teacher specific questions without the embarrassment of exposure in a classroom. The teacher tracks the questions to see learning patterns and focus on those areas where maximum attention is required.

“One stop” Comprehensive exam prep for NEET, JEE and Board Exams

RankStudent.com is a "one stop" learning center that offers complete and comprehensive material including chapter summaries, points to remember, section by section mini-tests, chapter tests, periodic monthly or quarterly tests, JEE exams, NEET exams together with guidance on each question in each test.
