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.
- Select the GRADE ENTERING; not the student's current grade.
- 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.

cheap and easy standarized test
The paper CAT test is fairly cheap and easy to give at home to your homeschooled student. Just math and language which is exactly what I need.

We love these tests!
This is our 5th year testing with the CAT test, and we have 3 boys. We love how Christian liberty ships quickly, there is a return envelope and fantastic instructions. The tests may seem "dated" but overall the kids have done wonderful and are excited to partake in their yearly testing. Thank you, CLP for giving us this option that is affordable, practical, and easy to understand/use!

Testing with NO TEARS!
I am very pleased with Christian Liberty. They are very helpful and have awesome customer service. We use the paper version CAT test and absolutely love it. The directions are clear and easy to follow, it arrives in the mail promptly without any fuss, the results are easy to understand and also promptly delivered, and most importantly there are no tears from my kids during testing! We will be using Christian Liberty from now on.

Easy to work with.
Bottom line, this is mandatory. Not for our benefit, but for the pleasure of the local/state govt education regulations. These tests are easy to work. We choose the paper version. Tried the online version but has its bugs: all is timed yet there is nothing to compensate for figuring out where to click and the additional need for scrolling up and down. Maybe the screen can be formatted differently, or those used to computer and online stuff can navigate fast, but not us. The test results are available for our state's format. OK price, but adds up with 4 or 5 children required to test. Just additional we have to pay for practicing our rights as parents to educate our children. Yeh, a review of the testing product and a little griping about the "system." Maybe some day we can regain our total control over home education. I rate it 3 (avg) only because I have no opinion of like or dislike and cannot really give praise for something required.

Great Assesment Resource
Great assessment resource. This is my third year using the CAT examination with my children. The results report gives us a guide on what to focus on more and it is a year end approved evaluation for our school district.
