    Recommendation Service: Academic Excellence's independent recommendation service is for home educators who would like to receive customized curriculum recommendations based upon the achievement test results. Academic Excellence is not affiliated with any curriculum publisher and provides objective, experienced feedback on curriculum. The Academic Excellence staff have been involved in home education since 1987 and have extensive experience with curriculum providers and the spectrum of homeschooling philosophies.

    The resource recommendations from Academic Excellence are strategically selected to strengthen and improve competency and mastery in academic areas presented in standardized testing. These key selected resources make excellent "tutoring aides" and addenda to any curriculum. Our goal in developing the Academic Excellence recommendation service  is to provide parents with user friendly, economical resources that strengthen students' academic achievement and testing skills; focus tutoring and teaching efforts; and facilitate preparation for and success in ACT, SAT, and college testing. All recommendations are based upon the student's test scores and our staff's extensive experience with home education. Each of the primary recommendations are provided in correlation to individual students' scores to questions and sections of standardized tests. Secondary resources are often challenging, educational games or less formal learning practices. Each recommendation is measured by ease of use by parents; levels of response, enjoyment, and success by students; and affordability. By targeting and addressing students' deficit areas with easy to use and economical tutorial resources, test scores, grades, and confidence elevate and improve. Recommendations in students' areas of proficiency keep students engaged, challenged, and progressing in all subject areas. We have found this to be an easy, economical way to ensure academic excellence and success.

    1. Great Experience

      I usually order a paper test for my homeschoolers, but I lost track of time and needed to get the test quicker this year. I am so glad I found this online test - this is what I'll be using from now on. It was extremely easy to navigate, the customer service was wonderful, and the results came back fast and were comprehensive. on 14th Jun 2018

    2. Complete CAT

      Awesome customer service! on 6th Jun 2018

    3. Great EOG experience!

      My girls really enjoyed taking the test and had a very good testing experience. We had a little technical difficulty in the beginning with the way my browser displayed the test, but the online tech staff reached back to me right away and we were able to fix the issue quickly and move on with the test. :) on 2nd Jun 2018

    4. The best standardized testing experience ever!

      I’m a home educator of over 16 years. I believe academic achievement needs to be measured in the same manner and environment in which the child is typically educated. These tests have helped me accomplish this! Great product! on 15th May 2018

    5. User Friendly

      The online assessment was easy to administer. I feel it was a great option for kids that are comfortable using technology. We did encounter a problem with one section of a test and the customer support center was fantastic! They helped us resolve the issue promptly and were very courteous. on 1st May 2018

    6. User friendly

      The ease of use made this product one we will use again. on 27th Apr 2018

    7. Great First Experience

      My son is in third grade and this was his first time taking an achievement test. He also hasn't had much experience using a computer, so I wasn't sure how this would work out. Our experience with the CAT exam via Academic Excellence surpassed my expectations. My son took the practice test and had no problem figuring out how to navigate through the sections. I'd planned to have him complete the exam over 2 days, but he wanted to keep going and finished in 2 1/2 hours. Everything went smoothly without any issues.
      We will definitely do this again the next time he needs to be tested.

    8. No Stress Testing

      My students find these tests easy to navigate and I value the quality in the test questions as well as the instant results. This is by far the least stressful testing experience we've ever had! on 10th Apr 2018

    9. Serves its purpose and worked flawlessly

      We homeshchool our children. We used this exam for our son's 2nd and 3rd grade scores. This test serves to meet our state's requirements for homeschooling. The exam was easy to administer. Everything was bug/glitch-free.
      I do recommend, for your child's benefit, that when they test you close all other running apps/software/etc. and perhaps have your computer just powered on. Optimally, you want it only focused on the exam; we found out the hard way that the timing was impacted by our computer's speed/internet was buggy one day and it mattered.
      We purchased the premium reporting and felt it was worth having. Our son felt encouraged that his score was immediately available after each section. Instructions are crystal clear, customer service support is quick, and we appreciated the explanatory reporting that we received. The child's certificate at the end is parent optional and I'm betting some kids would really appreciate having that. (we had cake) ;-)
      I think this makes for a good substitute for a classroom basic skills assessment. If your child is not comfortable with being timed, there is one without the timed limits and also just specific subject areas. For kids who are easily distracted in group testing situations, this testing option can provide an opportunity for a more controlled environment.

    10. 5th Year We've Used This Test

      I am so pleased with the test. It's not perfect, but it is a good measure of what your student knows as he/she moves to the next level. My 8th grader scored very well, and it reflected perfectly what I already knew, as to what his strengths and weaknesses are. We will continue to focus on the weaker areas, while maintaining the high levels of success he's achieved with the stronger areas of study. I really like knowing where they stand on a national level. Additionally I think this test is a good measure especially because he doesn't have a teacher "tutoring" on what is on the test prior to taking it as he has experienced in the classroom in the past. With the CAT, he takes it, and the scores are what they are. There is no prep. Just a good sound foundation of what he does know. on 6th Dec 2017
