Composite Scoring:
Christian Liberty has added the composite score option in response to some state and local school requirements.** This score is calculated from the raw scores of the individual sections of the California Achievement Test.
Families who request a composite score will receive (in addition to the individual results provided for the seven subject areas) composite score results in raw score, percentile, and stanine rank formats. A grade equivalent composite score is not available.
To include a composite score with your test results, simply check the "Composite Scoring" option.
What is Composite Scoring?
** Christian Liberty does not require a composite score for enrollment into its homeschool academy.
Recommendation Service:
If you are unsure which curriculum materials to choose based on the achievement test scores, Christian Liberty offers two different curriculum recommendation services to provide guidance in this area:
Basic Service – provides a subject-by-subject listing of recommended curriculum materials (from those offered through Christian Liberty) based solely on the CAT scores. Premium Service – currently unavailable |
Both services can take a few business days to complete.
After testing is completed:
If you decide to enroll your student into the Christian Liberty Academy School System (CLASS) within six months after receiving the test results, the cost of the test will be deducted from your student's tuition fee. However, if you enroll your student in a grade level using a different test than the one he or she originally took, the test cost will not be deducted from your student's tuition fee.

Pretty good test
Pro's: The test covers a lot of basic essential topics. Only takes about 3 hours in total. 100% online. No waiting for test books. Tests taken at our convenient times Clear scoring system Con's: Website conked out several times. Some instructions not clear. Would be nice to see which questions were wrong in order to look for patterns.

We Plan On Doing It Again!
I was skeptical at first of taking the CAT test online. We had done other testing and thought we'd give this a try. We did it last year for the first time and it was fast, easy and our favorite part was getting the results back immediately. We didn't have any issues whatsoever.

A Fantastic Service for Homeschoolers
We've used this test for two years now. I've been able to use it for alternative testing in two different states. It's an incredible value compared to other test. We will continue to use this test in the future.

Great tool for helping me find the gaps in my children's knowledge
I had my children take the test so I could know where they may have gaps in their education. Their results basically confirmed the areas that I suspected weakness but it also gave me encouragement to see that there were areas that they were well above their grade level.

Good Marker
My kids say this was the hardest standardized test they've ever taken, and last year in public school, they took plenty of these tests. One huge difference for them was that this is a timed test, while at the public school tests weren't timed. I personally like it being timed, but I will say that my younger kids who don't usually use my computer had a little more difficult time clicking on answers and clicking "next" in a timely manner. For my 17" computer, the test questions, answers and "next" button weren't always visible without scrolling down, unless I had zoomed out. But overall, I think it accurately shows where my kids are at, is easy to administer, and I like the immediate results.

Easiest testing ever
Loved how easy this was - immediate results!

Child cannot see all the possible answer choices without scrolling
I ordered this test for a child entering second grade. The problem is that he cannot see all the possible answer choices without scrolling. This makes parts of the test unusable. A paper version would have been much better.

ok but had some technical issues
We had some problems with getting the right test. My daughter finished one test and we decided to re test to see if she could get a higher score. We ordered a 2nd test. My daughter was halfway through the test when I got an email saying the office gave her the wrong username and password so she was actually re-doing her first test. They told her to complete the 2nd test and by then my daughter was frustrated, so her experience was not good.

FIRST YEAR TESTING AND VERY PLEASED
This test is very well formatted. The directions were easy to understand which helped my 6th grade son feel comfortable. It would be good if there is a little more explanation regarding what you are able to do during the test, such as go back to problems if you get stuck. Since the test is timed, it will give the students a little more relief to know that they can answer everything they know first and then go back for the ones they had trouble with. The fact that we got the results so soon after he took the test was very convenient since we needed test scores to apply at a private school.
