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.

Great basic test to check progression in the 3 Rs
For the three subject areas that this tests it is very complete. Students love the ease of computer testing and test segments are manageable junks. Test does not have to be done in order...you do a segment of math then English then back to math, or whatever I DO WISH CLP offered a more thorough test that included science and social studies...at least science!

Very Pleased
I am a homeschooler of 3 children. It was wonderful to be able to test them on the computer in the comfort of our home (and classroom). The results were almost instantly available. Thank you!

I wish it was untimed
This has always been a good decent test but not good for special needs students who may actually need more time in completing. It would be nice if CL would begin to offer testing that would accommodate special needs students who may need a bit more time to complete. That's all.

Easy and painless
I gave the CAT test on-line to my two kids through Christian Liberty Press. It was very easy to follow and administer. Both my children were tested in one day and we received the results immediately. I had made a mistake when ordering, and a chat representative helped me out right away. I would recomend this testing option.

Convenient, Quick and Easy
So much better than ordering standard paper tests, waiting for them to arrive, then mailing them off, and finally, waiting for the results. My kids were able to take these almost immediately and I received the results within seconds of completion. I will definitely be doing this again next year.

Good with an exception
I have a couple of children who get stressed by timed tests and this seemed to not give them enough time on some of their harder subjects. It could just be the nature of the test but it was very frustrating to them.

Great for quick turnaround!
This test was excellent for a quick score to hand in to my state.

Good General Data
I used these CAT tests to get a general idea of where my kids are at the end of our first year of homeschooling. Because we don't follow CA curriculum guidelines, they didn't know some of the information, but that's to be expected with nearly every standardized test (unless you're teaching to the test). Our biggest complaint was that it locked the kids out of answering a question when there was still time remaining on the clock. That was frustrating but there was nothing we could do about it. I liked the instant results, but I wish I could have read over the questions that they missed so I could have talked with them about them. The data is general, not specific, so there's only so much you can do with it. I still don't know what specific areas they're struggling with. For example, they scored well in math computation but not comprehension, but I don't know what sort of questions were asked for comprehension, so I don't know what to focus on.

Excellent and with instant results!
It was a great experience. Easy to use and same quality test! I preferred my child using a mouse with the laptop for better control. Thank you for providing such a wonderful option to take the test online!
