Pearson Guarantee of Quality – We are aware that there are many publications in use that have been heavily derived from our products. We would like to make users aware that these derivations may offer an inferior product which lacks the depth of quality that only careful development and revision over time can bring. Test development is an expensive and time-consuming process. The characteristics of effective and reliable tests cannot be acquired by short-cut methods. In addition, such derivations involve substantial violations of copyright which leave both users and developers open to prosecution. If you are offered products from another source which either claim an association with Pearson Clinical and Talent Assessment or obviously imitate one of our products, please contact us.

Our adaptation and standardization work is expansive, cost-intensive, covers all major regions of India and involves a large number of professionals such as psychologists, statisticians, research assistants and field examiners.
