Student College Readiness Diagnostic Quiz

Help Students Navigate the College Journey with Confidence

The Student College Readiness Diagnostic Quiz is designed specifically for high school guidance counselors, college advisors, and educational institutions who need a structured, comprehensive way to assess where students stand on their path to higher education.

This diagnostic form evaluates three critical dimensions of college readiness: academic preparation, application strength, and support needs. Instead of relying on gut feelings or scattered notes, counselors can use this quiz to generate a clear profile of each student's readiness level, identify specific gaps that need attention, and prioritize interventions that will make the biggest difference.

Built for Busy Counselors Who Care About Outcomes

High school counselors often manage hundreds of students with limited time and resources. This Paperform template streamlines the assessment process by gathering consistent, actionable data from every student. The quiz covers everything from GPA and course rigor to extracurricular involvement, financial literacy, and emotional preparedness—giving you a 360-degree view of readiness in one place.

Use conditional logic to adapt questions based on student responses, ensuring each assessment feels personalized while maintaining data consistency across your caseload. The responses automatically organize into easy-to-review submissions that help you spot patterns, flag at-risk students, and celebrate those who are on track.

Turn Insights Into Action with Stepper Workflows

Once you've identified students who need extra support, use Stepper to automate follow-up workflows. Automatically assign students to intervention programs, send personalized resource emails based on their specific gaps, update your student information system, or schedule one-on-one meetings—all triggered by their quiz responses. This means less manual tracking and more time spent actually helping students succeed.
