Introduction to PAC (Partner Access Center)
The Profiles Assessment Center (PAC) is an interactive website which allows users to manage their Wiley products online. In the PAC, users schedule and manage assessments, create Performance Models, manage meter availability, and much more.
As a client of NexaLearning, our “Pilot 2 Select” Program includes access to all your assessments and reports from within PAC. The currency used in PAC is called a Meter. A Meter is consumed when a PXT Select™ assessment is scored. Clients may send assessment invitations to candidates, but Meters are only used when assessments are completed by candidates. In order to run the reports that include more than one person, a Meter is required for each individual in the report.
