Welcome to Quick Bites!

Quick Bites is the new publication from the National College Testing Association 

To cut down on the number of NCTA emails you receive each week, we designed Quick Bites, a comprehensive, once-a-month email that covers everything you need to know about NCTA current and upcoming activities.  Quick Bites is designed to provide members with more relevant and timely content.


Whether you're looking for information on upcoming conferences or just want to stay informed about what's happening in the testing world, Quick Bites has got you covered.

If you have a story or news to share with the NCTA community, please fill out our Quick Bites submission form.  If you have any additional needs or questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to Jan Gonzalez at [email protected].
