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. Composite score results are displayed in raw score, percentile, and stanine rank formats. A grade equivalent composite score is not available.
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 a curriculum recommendation service to provide guidance in this area. This service provides a subject-by-subject listing of recommended curriculum materials (from those offered through Christian Liberty) based solely on the CAT scores.
The recommendation service 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 Christian Liberty Homeschools (CLH) 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 originally taken, the test cost will not be deducted from your student's tuition fee.

CAT - Grade 5
I think the test was a fair measuring standard. It was easy to use. Took a few minutes to understand the format initially because this was our first year. But overall we liked it. I do not like that we did not get to know the number of questions asked vs. the number correctly answered on the score sheet sent to us. I did have to keep prompting him of the time limitations. I think some sections would have done well to add an extra two minutes. Other sections had far more time than needed. I would use it again.

Good.
It was great that my daughter was able to do it all herself without me conducting the test. The only problem we had was that she had to scroll up and down on every problem to get to the next problem. She didn't like doing that. We did it on a laptop so maybe that's why.

Excellent way to test!
This was our second year testing and our second year using the CAT online version through Christian Liberty. We really like this method of testing and recommend it to our friends. My son's only complaint was having to scroll constantly to get to the "submit" button to submit each answer (I agree, it was frustrating!). He had his screen maximized and even then he had to scroll :/

excellent
The testing has always been easy to use for me and my kids. I never have had any problems and what the website said it did. I received help when I needed it and I get results as the dates indicate.

Multiple problems
This test should have been formatted so that the entire question and answer was in view on the screen without scrolling. My 9yr old had to scroll down for the answers, after reading the questions, for almost every question. Plus it is seen as a window within a window - so be sure to use the correct scroll bar - confusing and unnecessary. That should not be, esp with a timed test! Also, the test froze during the testing about three times. If you are offering this service, your technology should be able to support it.

different format
We did the online testing last year and this year the way it was formatted was different. We did not like it as well, the test froze a few times on my one child and she had to do the whole section over, that was very frustrating!! It seemed like the screen was smaller where the test questions were and made it difficult to navigate. Going back to paper testing next year.

Easy to use for our first year
This was our first year homeschooling and it happen to be a year that our state required a standardized test to be given. We went with the online CAT option. I liked that the scored were available immediately. That way we could do the test much later in our year after we had covered more topics. The entire buying and administering process was very smooth. I even accidentally locked us out of a section while my daughter was taking the test, but with one phone call and a few minutes all was well again. We will most likely use this test again and I would recommend it to anyone.

Easy
The site was easy to use. My 8 year old (3rd grade) and 10 year old (5th grade) had no problems navigating the site. My kids didn't like that the test was timed, but they really liked that they instantly received a score at the end. Overall, the experience was good.

Easy Testing Service
We have used this test in the past, but I love the format this year. My kids loved seeing the results as they completed their sections. It gave them the confidence to keep doing their best. We had a glitch on both tests, where results weren't being posted and we got error messages every time we clicked on anything. But the customer service was great and got it all straightened out.
