Q Local Scoring and Reporting Software
Q Local
Q Local is a scoring and reporting software system that provides the convenience of desktop administration and scoring for more than 30 Pearson clinical assessments.
Q Local Retirement
Q Local is being slowly phased out in favor of Q-global, our web-based administration, scoring, and reporting platform. While we are continuing to sell Q Local report administrations and renew annual licenses, the following steps are being taken in advance of an eventual Q Local retirement (date to be determined):
New Q Local Customers
As of May 1, 2023, we are no longer taking orders for new Q Local customers. Current customers can continue to order replacement counters and new report administrations by contacting our Customer Support team.
Network Licenses
Q Local Network Licenses will be retired in July 2024 due to an incompatibility with Microsoft SQL Server. Network customers can convert to Q-global or Q Local Desktop Licenses. See the FAQs tab for more information.
New Product Development
As of January 1, 2024, no new products or product enhancements will be added to Q Local. Product defects and maintenance will be performed as needed as long as Q Local is officially supported.
How it works
Install and administer
Q Local software is installed. Tests are taken on the computer or responses are manually keyed from an answer sheet.
Order administrations
A Q Local annual license fee is paid up front. Payments are then made only for the tests and administrations needed.
Track scores
A counter plugs into the USB port on the back of the computer. This keeps track of the number of test administrations scored.
