This article describes how to choose your Select 6.
Participating institutions are asked to choose six participating institutions for comparison per order per year. This process is known as Select 6. When you purchase most assessments, a Select 6 comparison set is automatically included in the price. At the end of each academic year, Benchworks will generate a comparative benchmarking report based on the institutions you have chosen. Individual institution data will not be specifically identified in your report, assuring anonymity.
