The measure is designed to evaluate academic procrastination in student populations, and the Procrastination Assessment Scale for Students (PASS) provides a structured self-report format for describing patterns of delay across common academic tasks. It also supports clinical or counseling conversations by clarifying areas of impairment and potential targets for intervention.

The instrument includes 53 items and typically takes about 10 minutes to complete. Item content assesses the frequency of procrastination across academic activities and explores perceived reasons for postponement (e.g., avoidance, indecision, motivational factors), which can be useful for case formulation and treatment planning. The Procrastination Assessment Scale for Students (PASS) was developed by Esther D. Rothblum and Laura J. Solomon.
