Standardized Testing
Achievement Testing –
Aptitude Testing – Career
Testing for Grades 3 – 11
What is Achievement Testing?
Achievement testing has been
designed to ascertain how
your child has progressed in
relationship to others in
their same grade level. You
will be able to compare your
child to others nationwide
in the areas of mathematics,
reading, language, study
skills, science, and social
studies. Calvary Christian
School uses the Stanford
Achievement Test published
by the Psychological
Corporation.
What is Aptitude Testing?
Tests measuring aptitude
reflect past learning and do
not directly measure innate
ability. They are an
indicator of the potential
your child has for future
learning. Aptitude testing
in conjunction with
achievement testing can be a
valuable tool in determining
in your child is performing
at, above, or below their
capabilities. CCS used the
Otis-Lennon School Ability
Test published by the
Psychological Corporation.
What is Career Testing?
Career testing involves two
aspects. One part of testing
measures the student’s
aptitude for certain
careers. The second part
quantifies their interests,
likes, and dislikes. The
Differential Aptitude Test
(DAT) published by the
Psychological Corporation is
used in career testing at
CCS.
What about the PSAT?
Calvary Christian School is
a test site each October for
the PSAT (Preliminary
Scholastic Aptitude Test)
published by the Educational
Testing Service (College
Board). Many consider this a
practice test for the SAT
(Scholastic Aptitude Test).
How should my child prepare
for testing?
There is no studying
necessary to prepare for
achievement testing,
aptitude testing, or career
testing. However a good
nights rest and a good
breakfast are invaluable.
Also remind your child to
bring at least two number
two lead pencils.
When will I get scoring
results?
Typically it takes eight
weeks to receive and
organize scoring. Generally
you will be notified of
results of Spring testing in
June and of PSAT testing in
December.
