NSTSE is a diagnostic test which helps students improves their overall learning ability and educational performance.
Unlike other tests which generally only find out how much a student has memorised, NSTSE measures how well a student has understood the foundation of concept and provides a detailed feedback regarding it, to help him/her improve.
Thus NSTSE helps each student to know early, where exactly are the problems. Students get to know as to in which concepts they are lacking so that some immediate steps can be taken to correct or understand the concepts properly.
