Help your students get the most out of every mistake

Pinpoint is an innovative practice testing platform designed by test-taking psychology experts to help tutors, teachers, and students get the most out of every error and maximize student potential.

At Pinpoint Learning, we believe that if you want to help your students reach their full potential, you need to understand the why behind their wrong answers

Wrong answers can happen for very different reasons

. . . but tests only tell you what students get wrong, not why.

Tutors and teachers are often missing the information they need to give students the support that will help them the most.

This leaves students unable to reach their full potential.

Help your students do their very best with Pinpoint, a practice testing platform that finds the why behind student mistakes

In-depth insights into what your students needs the most

Pinpoint gives you full details on what your students got wrong and why, allowing you to give them the exact support they need. Works with any practice test.

Evidence-based techniques that help students get the most out of every mistake

Designed by PhD experts in the psychology of test-taking, Pinpoint use research-backed methods to maximize the amount students learn from their mistakes.

Everything you and your students need to get their highest score

Educators get the insights they need to best help each student, and students get the most out of every mistake. The result? Students are empowered to reach their full potential.

Here’s how Pinpoint works

Your student completes one problem at a time

Your student completes one problem at a time of any test you want. You choose the test, and we put it on the Pinpoint platform.

Your student gets immediate feedback

This research-backed method greatly accelerates learning from mistakes — much better than learning what you got wrong once the test is graded a week later.

If they got it wrong, your student reflects on why

Students enter their reflection into the platform. Reflecting is critical for learning from mistakes, and the moment right after a mistake happens is when students have the most insight they will ever have into what went wrong.
