Chyten Launches Revolutionary New SAT Assessment and Diagnostic Tool, the
Magnostic, Making Test Preparation More Effective for Students

NORTH ANDOVER, Mass., May 19 /PRNewswire/ -- The competitive environment
facing K-12 students leads many parents to rely on tutoring and test
preparation firms to prepare their children for the gauntlet of academic tests
awaiting them. While most of these firms focus on familiarizing students with
the test material, Chyten, a national tutoring franchise based in Newton, MA,
has launched a state-of-the art educational and diagnostic service that goes
much further by analyzing practice test results to provide tutors and students
with specific recommendations and focus areas.

"Based on The Magnostic's 5-page analysis, Chyten tutors will be able to help
students pin-point test performance problems like a compass and work to
remediate them. With the Magnostic, Chyten has further solidified its position
as the leading test preparation company in America," says Neil Chyten, the
president and founder of Chyten. 

A highly intuitive and sensitive diagnostic tool, Magnostic breaks down SAT
performance into many helpful learning, content, and performance categories
that let Chyten tutors better understand the needs of each student. Magnostic
can ferret out with great detail subject-specific strengths and weaknesses and
test-taking tendencies of students.

Chyten enlisted Socrato (www.socrato.com) to help create this new service
which they believe will add significant value for existing clients, provide
fresh revenue streams, and expand their client base. 

"We opted to work with the Socrato team over other vendors because they
understood that a user interface had to be clear," says Chyten. "The Socrato
team is also extremely easy to work with.  They're very talented software
designers.  Socrato offers simple, effective, and affordable solutions for
firms like mine."

"Socrato does for student test preparation what Quicken did for personal
finance; we make the data actionable and easy to understand. Socrato takes it
further by connecting the analysis with relevant learning content. Our
Learning Intelligence(TM) platform saves tutors and students significant time
spent on correcting, calculating scores, analyzing outcomes, tracking student
data, and connecting it to content. Allowing tutors and students to focus
their efforts on true teaching and learning while Socrato facilitates
metrics-driven insight and transparency," says Socrato's CEO and Founder Raju
Gupta.  

Highly intuitive and easy to use, Socrato analyzes and presents student
learning data in a variety of interactive and printed reports. For more
