1. A system for administering a test, the system comprising:
- a central computer configured to;
receive an indication of a reward threshold;
administer a test to an individual via a testing computer;
determine a test result based on the test;
determine a proximity to the reward threshold based on the test result; and
output a message to the individual indicating the proximity to the reward threshold; and
at least one testing computer in communication with the central computer, each testing computer being configured to administer the test to the individual and to transmit an indication of a reward threshold to the central computer.

Abstract
Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for computer-based evaluation of a test-taker'"'"'s performance with respect to a reward threshold. A performance assessment of the test taker can be standardized or customized, as well as relative or absolute. The system allows a parentally-controlled reward system such that children who reach specified objectives can claim an award that parents are confident was fairly and honestly earned without the parent being required to proctor the testing.
