CTBS TERRANOVA NOW AVAILABLE

CTB McGraw-Hill and Bayside offer a more recently published test series than the now-discontinued CAT/5. The TerraNova, first published in 1996, was renormed in 2005. This is the new test of choice for the do-it-yourself homeschool! It is valid for use not only NC but in other states that require more recent test norms.

We offer the Complete Battery for Kindergarten (Level 10), the Complete Battery Plus for Grade 1 through Grade 12, and the Survey Plus for Grades 2 through 12. These are the most complete, extensive and up-to-date tests available for unrestricted homeschool use.

Level 10, Kindergarten, includes Reading/Language Arts and Mathematics.

Levels 11-21/22 (Grade 1 through Grade 12) include Reading/Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, plus Word Analysis (Levels 11-13), Vocabulary and Mathematics Computation (Level 11 & up), and Language Mechanics and Spelling (Level 12 & up).

Level 11 (Grade 1) students need to read well and understand simple stories, although much of this test is administered orally.

The TerraNova is now THE CHOICE for better scoring reports. Its more recent 2005 norms are preferred in many states. Skills Mastery information is included in both Complete and Survey scoring reports.

Compared to the CAT/5, the TerraNova tests are more current in their presentation. Themes carry through the entire combined Reading and Language Arts Sections.

Bonus! All tests through Grade 8 include FREE test familiarization (not skills building) Practice Exercises.

The cost of the TerraNova is $55 per student. See the ordering information page for details on placing your order.

Important: Do not let affordability determine your test choice. We have a limited amount of partial scholarship assistance available if cost is the issue. Request help with an email to help@baysideschoolservices.com or written request to us at the below mailing address.
