Our Program
Northwestern University's Midwest Academic Talent Search (NUMATS) has been a major force in identifying and advising gifted/talented students in the Midwest since 1981. Each year, more than 30,000 students test through NUMATS at test centers near their homes. Many sign up for a second or third time. Students who want to know how their abilities compare with those of their peers, parents who want to know what their children are capable of, and educators who want to help their brightest students, all look to NUMATS for direction.
A program sponsored by Center for Talent Development at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, NUMATS combines above-grade testing—using the EXPLORE, ACT and SAT, tests usually given to much older students—with guidance as to the appropriate academic follow-up for individual students based on their test scores.
With an expert staff headquartered in Evanston and an active, engaged network of liaisons in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and Wisconsin, NUMATS ensures that students, parents and educators have all the information they need about academics, enrichment programs and distance learning.
