PPI Inc. Selects the NCS-VUE Testing System
Minneapolis - June 28, 1999 - Virtual University Enterprises (VUE), a division
of National Computer Systems, Inc. (NCS) (NASDAQ: NLCS), has announced that

learning solutions, will use the VUE Testing System to deliver Information

Microsoft(, Novell( and others.
Peter Squier, senior vice president of PPI, said, "We anticipate enjoying
substantial benefits from the flexibility that VUE's system offers us. Our
testing centers will be in complete control of their resources and testing
hours. Each center will be able to easily convert existing facilities to
accommodate testing demands as they occur. It's truly testing whenever they
want, wherever they want." Mr. Squier added, "Our tag line is, 'Get out in
front. And stay there.' VUE's philosophy seems to be similar ¾ they not only
offer a highly advanced and reliable delivery system right now, I'm confident

stay in the forefront."
