LA CROSSE, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kaplan Financial Education launched At-Risk Reporting, a new process using predictive analytics to measure and identify test takers who are likely to fail, allowing for early remediation to improve pass rates. Kaplan, recognized for 47 years as the pioneer in exam prep and leader in securities licensing, offers classroom, online and blended exam prep programs to more than 90,000 successful candidates annually.
“The At-Risk Report is the first of its kind and a major step forward in the evolution of exam preparation performance,” said Michael Terzis, Vice President of Data and Analytics at Kaplan. “This innovative reporting tool offers organizations a rigorously tested model that measures a candidate’s cumulative risk based on pace of completion and overall performance within their course. Administrators will spend less time sifting through learning metrics and more time interacting with candidates, guiding them to success.”
As candidates progress through each key milestone of exam preparation programs, the At-Risk Report places them in one of three categories:
- Red (At-Risk): If a candidate needs administrative intervention to get back on track, a plan is developed to do so.
- Yellow (Borderline): The candidate may need some remediation to get back on track, and corrective steps are recommended.
- Green (On-track): The candidate is doing well and does not need assistance.
Kaplan reports a 90% or better predictive accuracy for those that are in the “On-track” category. Kaplan's predictive model is also used to rank the remaining candidates to allocate clients’ training time for those closest to passing, or those who are at the highest risk of failing and need immediate remediation.
