“I have been using NCSS in my high school classroom for 22 years. I find it very easy to use and my students use it to calculate their results for their lab reports, science fair projects, and now they are using it for AP Research projects. It can be used for everything from the basics to the most advanced statistics. NCSS is very affordable for any high school budget.”

Using NCSS Data Analysis and Graphics Software in Statistics Courses
The NCSS analysis and graphics solution provides hundreds of tools for analyzing and visualizing your data.
Each step in using NCSS is a breeze, and there are a variety of carefully crafted training videos for each topic. Complete documentation is included with the software, including technical details and examples.
Aspects of NCSS that make it the perfect choice for teaching and learning statistics include:
Easy-to-Use Interface
The point-and-click interface is perfect for students learning beginning or advanced statistical techniques. Column-selection, options, reports, and plots are all specified with one or two intuitive clicks. We often hear from users of the software that NCSS is by far the easiest-to-use statistical software they have encountered.
Low Cost
The cost of NCSS for individual students, classes, lab computers, and instructors is very, very affordable. We have sought to price the software in a manner that is cost-effective for students of all levels.
Typically, the instructor licenses are free when licenses are purchased for a class.
Please contact us for licensing costs for individual students, classes, or labs, or view student prices through the student store.

Training Videos
An expanding series of training videos is always available online for free. Each video contains a carefully thought out discussion of a specific topic, so students won’t have to spend an inordinate amount of time searching for answers in the video. Some examples of videos are Filters, Getting Started, Two-Sample T-Tests, Transformations, Contingency Tables, and much more.
Intuitive Data Window
The data window is an intuitive, column-based spreadsheet with straightforward filters, transformations, labels, and formats. Data can easily be opened, imported, copied-and-pasted, or entered directly. Watch a brief video about the data window by clicking here.
Help System
The Help system can be accessed from any window in the software by clicking the help icon in the top right corner. The PDF documentation will open to the topic of that window. The documentation contains tutorials, examples, annotated output, references, formulas, and complete instructions on each procedure.
