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.
Scores reported will offer a grade equivalent score, but also percentile and stanine rankings for each of the individual test sections. You will receive your testing materials by mail.
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.

Great Value
As a first time user, I would recommend this test. Since I had never administered a standardized test before, at first it was a little confusing (especially the lower level-entering 2nd grade). The yellow bubbles were difficult to see. Much less expensive than other alternatives, and just as good.

Really good service
I like the paper version. CLP always gets it to me in good time when I order it and even the scoring has a really good turnover for getting back to me.

Pleased
I've used this with all my children even one with learning disabilities. Haven't had any problems. Great service by CLP.

CAT is a good choice for us
Used the CAT for the first time this year, really liked to see not only results of percentage correct but also where they rank. Very reasonably priced.

need a more recent version
1970 is way too old a version of the test. I was embarrassed to hand in the results with that year on it. The results were not given in a very professional way either...just typed out simply. I will purchase the CAT test elsewhere next year.

Very Happy
I have used this service for 5 years and am a very happy H. S. mom!!! The tests are easy to read and we can get through them quickly!

reliable and timely service
The CAT is a good test tool; no further explanation needed. The answer key could afford to be on a bit heavier weight paper so the filled in ovals are less visible when the page is flipped to use the back (reason for 4/5 stars). The service is reliable and very timely. Used this test and service 3 years and have recommended to others and will continue to do so. Test results seem as accurate as any paper and pencil test can be.

was surprised
my son went right through the test quickly. I was much easier than I anticiptated. My only problem was the yellow print. very difficult to see for both my son and me!

Very Pleased
We used to use the Stanford Achievement Tests here, but switched a few years ago. We all like the CAT so much better. I am able to satisfy the local school board, and the kids feel confident that they know the things they need to. We have found Christian Libery to be very fast and courteous when we order or have questions. I have 5 more years to go and plan to use CAT each year
