AMOS 17 – University is a battery of tests designed to assess and self-assess skills related to studying: from cognitive strategies to motivation, from personal organisation to anxiety management. Intended for upper secondary school and university students, it is also useful for those working in the field of education – teachers, tutors, school psychologists – to guide, personalise and strengthen the learning experience.

Through questionnaires, objective tests and self-knowledge tools, the battery makes it possible to build a detailed profile of the student: how they study, what motivates them, how they approach tests, and what beliefs they hold about themselves.

The battery includes:

  • QSS (Study Strategies Questionnaire): to assess how well strategies are known and actually used.
  • QAS (Approach to Study Questionnaire): to analyse organisation, self-assessment and test preparation.
  • QSC (Cognitive Styles Questionnaire): to identify visual/verbal, global/analytical preferences.
  • PA and PS (Learning and Study Tests): two practical tests on texts and images to evaluate comprehension and memory.
  • QC (Beliefs Questionnaire): to assess mindset, confidence and perceptions of ability.
  • QAR (Anxiety and Resilience Questionnaire): to understand how a student experiences and faces study-related challenges.
