The California Achievement Test (CAT) is one of the most widely used of the student assessments for basic academic skills. The CAT provides educators, students and their parents with a measure of achievement and national comparison.
The Academic Excellence online untimed practice California Achievement Tests are designed to allow parents and educators to easily administer a practice achievement test to their students requiring special accommodation, and to allow both educators and students to experience the online testing process. Each section constitutes a competency within the test and represents approximately 25% the length of the actual test. Tests are divided into multiple timed sections that can be easily administered by parents or educators. These tests can be taken over as many sessions as necessary based upon the schedule of the student and provide total flexibility over the course of a year to complete. Tests are immediately scored at time of completion and a count of the number of questions answered correctly is provided.
When the complete California Achievement Test is taken, the student will also receive additional scores such as grade equivalence, percentile ranking, and stanine compared to national norms for students taking the traditional timed version of the test. Student score reports indicate that the test was administered without the time limits associated with the traditional test.

The practice test are excellent.. In few days I buy the test. Thanks Yovarie Claudio Cruz on 19th Apr 2022
I was pleased with the structure of the test. It gave my grandson a better understanding of what he needs to focus on and be ready to do his very best on the Assessment to report that has to be sent to the school. Unknown on 3rd Apr 2022
It was simple to adapt to and enough to get a good beginning assessment. Evangeline Oakley on 4th Dec 2021
Getting the practice test first gets your children used to their way of doing it, and I'm so glad we did. It taught my daughter she needs to read the directions in full before answering questions. She missed half of them before realizing she was doing it wrong. Thankfully, it was just practice. I'd recommend this everyone testing with Academic Excellence. Charlene Burbett on 25th Aug 2021
The cat online untimed test is stress free and easy to administer. Definitely recommend. I've used it 3 years in a row now and it works perfect for my file. Unknown on 19th Jun 2021
This test practice is a very effective tool. My child was able to familiarize with the test format and understand what to expect on the actual test and feel more comfortable with it. I would say administer it between a week or day before the actual test, as a prep run. Also worth it anytime during the school year as a tool for you to check what to expect and work on key areas of improvement with your student. Re homeschool Mom of two on 17th Jun 2021

Very satisfied with my decision to try Academic Excellence for my homeschool standardized testing. Michele S. on 18th Apr 2021
We did this practice test 2 weeks before her actual timed CAT test. She kept telling me how it was just like this practice test and she understood the format. Very glad this is offered. Mrs. R. on 24th Mar 2021
