Homeschool Testing and Educational Resources Thurber's Educational AssessmentsServing Home Schools and Private Schools Since 1993 Margaux and Art Thurber THE CALIFORNIA ACHIEVEMENT TEST, CAT/5 The California Achievement Test, Fifth Edition (CAT/5).

For more infomation about each of these forms, scroll down to "Overview of the CAT/5". Basic Skills: For a more limited test, called "Basic Skills", order the Complete Battery; but do not give the Social Studies, Science, Word Analysis or Study Skills subtests. The instructions will tell you exactly how to do this. This Complete Battery Basic Skills Test requires 3 1/2 hours. For the very shortest Basic Skills test, order the Survey and again do not give the subtests just listed. Requires 2 hours.Published in 1992 by CTB/McGraw-Hill, the CAT/5 is a nationally recognized standardized test administered to elementary and secondary school students in public schools, private schools, and home schools across the country. This 5th edition is the latest edition that the publisher, McGraw-Hill, allows home school students to use for testing.What grade should you order?

NC Homeschools--Send results to DNPE?: What NC regulations say: Send results to DNPE? Only if, this past August, you received from DNPE a gray colored postal card inviting you to do so. Consult that gray postal card for all the details. Otherwise, simply keep the student achievement test result and attendance records at your home for at least one year after the date of testing. If DNPE doesn’t ask to see them during that one year period, you will have satisfied the North Carolina law regarding the DNPE inspection of these student records. If the test company scoring your child's test does not provide the test scores to you in time to meet the June 30 DNPE postmark mail-in deadline, simply hold the completed student attendance records until the test results arrive from the company. Then, send both items together to DNPE per instructions given in your August invitation letter. There is no need for you (or the test company) to notify DNPE about the mail-in delay. Also, when sending student test result or attendance records, DO NOT attach address or telephone number changes in the same envelope. This increases the risk that they may be accidentally overlooked by the DNPE staff.HOW CAN I PREPARE MY STUDENT FOR THE TEST: Since the test will reflect the typical curriculum taught for each grade, the very best preparation for the test is to teach day by day the typical academic subjects for each grade.If you would like guidance in understanding the learning objectives for subjects in each grade, you would do well to consult the "Standards of Learning" developed by many states. These guidelines are on the internet (Click on link at end of this page). In addition to your state's standards, look at Virginia's standards which are comprehensive and clearly written(Click on Link below). These are only guidelines to help with teaching and no student is expected to have mastered everything in the standards. Remember, you do not need to have completed the entire curriculum for the year at the time you give the test. If you are interested in guide books to help students with the C.A.T./5, go to:< www.sraonline.com/products.html >. On that site click on "Test Preparation". These helps should be ordered earlier in your school year to be useful. Practice Exercises: These are not academic reviews. They are used to acquaint children with the multiple choice type of test. It is definitely recommended that students in Grades K through 4 take this Practice Exercise. An additional purpose for Practice Exercises applies to Grade 4. The Grade 4 Practice Exercise helps in the transition from the student marking answers in the student's booklet to marking answers on an Answer Sheet separate from the Test Booklet. Students in higher grades probably have had experience with multiple choice tests. Practice Exercise for Grade 4, 5, and 6 are identical. Practice Exercises are given a day or two before the achievement test is given, and take about 30 minutes. Practice Exercises are only available with a C.A.T. order. WHY CONSIDER ORDERING FROM Thurber’s Educational Assessments? We have been providing the California Achievement Test for fifteen years and consider it a privilege and a ministry to have made these tests available to many thousands of students across our great country. Our testing service is limited to the United States. Our testing service provides computer scoring of every test, not hand scoring. Computer scoring is the most accurate method of scoring. It provides the most comprehensive test results, and so gives you, the teacher, the very best guidance in your teaching plans. Our testing service is designed to have the student’s test results completed as quickly as possible, usually within four to six weeks. Strict confidentiality is kept. We bring advanced professional training to our service; Margaux as an Educator and Art as a psychologist. WHAT DOES YOUR STATE SAY ABOUT HOMESCHOOL TESTING? North Carolina: If you do not have the test report by June 30,the Dept. of Non-public Education (if they did ask you to send in the test report) asks that you send a copy when you do get it. And also, hold other records and send everything together when you send the student report. We have a separate page with more information: Click here: North Carolina RegulationsFor complete information on all aspects of home schooling in North Carolina, go to: www.ncdnpe.org/hhh114.htm For other states: Information about testing and other homeschool regulations can be found at the following website: < http://www.hslda.org/laws/default.asp >WHY ORDER THE CAT/5(1992), RATHER THAN AN EARLIER EDITION(1970,1986)?When a publisher sets about to develop a new edition, they analyze curriculum materials presently being used across the country. This provides the publishers with a comprehensive view of the common educational goals that are guiding the teachers’ instruction of students. Test questions are then constructed that would demonstrate the students’ ability to apply concepts and skills that will reflect achievement in the specific subjects. Most home schools utilize recent curricula. Hence, the more recent edition will more accurately indicate the students’ achievement.
