Purpose of NTS:

The NTS was created to unify examination boards under a single administrative body and to "establish a nationwide scale for comparative grading between institutes" in order to uphold high educational standards in Pakistan. NAT is intended for students applying to colleges and institutions, whereas GAT is intended for graduates applying to postgraduate programs. Exams administered by NTS are frequently used to assess a student's readiness for advanced study abroad.

Types of NTS test:

What is OTS?

Opportunity to See identifies the typical frequency with which a person has interacted with a specific advertising media. The OTS is used to assess the effectiveness of advertising campaigns along with the Gross Rating Point (GRP) and other information.

In the process of media planning, consideration should be given to the campaign's overall effectiveness as well as its content, budget, and media selection. Based on a variety of KPIs, the effectiveness of advertising is tracked. The OTS value is used to calculate the typical contacts between the recipient and the advertising media.

How to determine OTS:

Following are the steps to compute the OPS: The total number of people contacted is known as the net reach. No of how many times the advertisement has been displayed, the gross reach is the total number of people reached. By dividing the gross reach by the net reach, the OTS value is calculated.

Example Net Reach: An ad or commercial has been seen at least once by 1,000 people.

Gross reach contacts: The total number of receivers is 5,000 contacts. If one divides 5000 by 1000, one obtains the average contacts' value, which is 5 OTS.

This must be contrasted with contact distribution, which reveals the contact classes that make up the target group. The advertising business typically believes that seven to twelve contacts are the appropriate number for each target consumer. The percentage of people in a target group who can recall a specific advertisement is known as advertising awareness in this context, and values between 7 and 12 are typically only possible through the use of a variety of advertising mediums.

The average number of contacts may be reduced depending on the advertising medium without falling short of a particular campaign goal. For instance, the OTS figures for radio are substantially lower, with each person making about 4 encounters per week. In this scenario, time is more significant than cost.

Benefits of OTS:

The audience's focus is essential to advertising. Repeated advertisements or commercials are thought to attract more attention. The OTS value is a way to assess the attention that has been generated, at least roughly, by choosing the average contact per person. The emphasis can be set on a certain time frame depending on the campaign's objectives. Print media, in particular, evaluates advertising success based on repeated appearances or in relation to a specific output.

OTS values can be utilized to improve a nascent brand's visibility. First-time advertising is to introduce a company or product to the public and, via repeated exposure, help people remember it. OTS values can be utilized to launch new brands or products as well as carry out branding initiatives. In every situation, this KPI is used to assess the campaign's effectiveness. It can also be used to specify the average number of contacts or the frequency of ad placements or showings in order to achieve the desired success.

OTS Test:

Open Testing Service (OTS) was founded in 2012 with the goal of bringing innovation to the training and assessment processes. In Pakistan, OTS offers innovative and affordable solutions for training and testing.
