Product Description
Paper California Achievement Test with mailed results. This is a timed test.
This 1970 edition California Achievement Test is for students entering grades 2 through 12. It covers the following subject areas: Reading (vocabulary and comprehension), Mathematics (computation and concepts & problems), and Language (mechanics, usage & structure, and spelling). The test for entering grade 2 also includes Auding.

This service includes all the necessary materials and instructions for administering the test. After testing, please return the materials to us for scoring (an envelope is included, but you may use any mailing method you would prefer). After scoring the test, we will then mail the final results and original test sheet to you.
Ordering Instructions:
- Enter the FIRST NAME and LAST NAME of the student to be tested in the spaces provided.

- Indicate if you would like to add the RECOMMENDATION SERVICE or COMPOSITE SCORING service to your test (both services are explained below).
- Please enter information only for one student at a time, then select the Add To Cart button.
- 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.

Easy to administer.
I have used this testing for my children for the past 4 years. I receive it within a few days of ordering it. It is very easy to understand and to administer to your kids yourself.

Great for students who don't panic when being timed
My oldest son has been taking the CAT paper test for years now and has had no problems with it. The questions start out simple and work their way up in difficulty to ease the student into the test. It was not, however, the test for my youngest, who has a hard time concentrating especially when being timed. So he, my youngest son, tried the online Test Point this year, also offered by Christian Liberty.

Great and affordable!
My husband is a computer programmer so I know how finicky the internet can be, so I choose the CAT paper copy for testing my children. I have found testing to be very helpful for "confirming" the gaps or misunderstandings that I am seeing in my children's work. This year I have three students, 15, 12, and 6. I would definitely recommend this test (and I have!). One more thing, my older children (since graduated) always regarded this test as the hardest test that they took. We did test at a local school for a few years and they were using the Stanford Achievement Test.

Love it!
This is our second year using the CATS test. We love how it gives us an accurate assessment of our son's achievements without grading on a "curve". The 1970's version does not dumb down any part of their test and allows us to properly prepare for the following year. We have used this test for second and third grades and will continue using only this test throughout our homeschool journey.

Great, affordable testing option!
I have used Christian Liberty's testing service for my four children several times over the last 20 years and have always been incredibly pleased. They have made it easy to use and easy on the wallet. I can highly recommend CL's testing service as a great testing option!

CAT 1970 great standardized test
I have been using the CAT 1970 edition through Christian Liberty for about 12 years and like the content. It hasn't been "dumbed down" and the content is moral with no "gray" areas for my children to have to deal with while taking the test. Thanks for a great test and a great testing service.

CAT, who knew testing could be this easy!
I was taking my daughter to a public school for her testing but this year we missed it, a friend recommended Christain Liberty testing services and I will never go back to any other way. Thank you for for making this part of our homeschooling so much easier now.
