- If you wish to purchase testing services for additional students, or wish to make other purchases, select the Continue Shopping link after viewing your shopping cart.
It can take roughly 1 week to grade the test and mail the results after receiving your test(s). If ordering the Recommendation Service or Composite Scoring service, please allow up to an additional week for the results and service information to be mailed.
* Please note that the California Achievement Test has a 1 year expiration date.
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.
** 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 and may delay the arrival of your test scores.
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.

Testing Made Simple-for parents
I have used the CAT testing program through Christian Liberty Press for many years. I am very happy to use this method for the cumpolsory testing requirement. The folks at the Christian Liberty Press even went beyond what is required when my daughter needed a Comp number (?) for her application into a college program. Since she had taken her CAT's with CLP, they had her numbers within a few hours. With the younger two kids still talking CAT's, it just makes testing simple for parents while gauging the children's progress and abilities.

Test Sufficiently Met Our Need...
I appreciated being able to administer the test from the comforts of our home. I believe the test sufficiently met our need...and the cost was fabulous compared to other tests. Our son being tested has dyslexia and one down side is there were no instructions or suggestions regarding how to modify or whether modifications where even allowed. I would have liked more direction on how to proceed with a special needs student.

Great Test!
The test was exactly what we wanted and a great price. Received quickly and administered with no problems. It was also a bit of a challenge for my 4th graders! Thank you Christian Liberty!

A blessing for homeschoolers.
It has been such a blessing to be able to test the children at home with the CAT test from Christian Liberty. The tests arrive quickly with all of the information the administer of the test needs and once completed you just put the materials in the envelope provided and mail it back for results. The test itself provides a good baseline so you know where your child stands both on an individual basis and compared to other students nation wide.

Great for younger students
While we have moved on the online test for my older student, the paper version is still ideal for younger students. It is easy to follow, and we like the variety in shorter and longer sections of the test. The parent instructions are also very helpful. CLP does a great job in grading and returning the test in a timely manner. One more year down!
