The Calvert Test Series

An objective tool for measuring your child’s progress

Developed at the request of our families, the Calvert Test Series (CTS) offers Home Teachers a complete set of tests with answer keys for First through Eighth Grades. With this testing option, parents check their children’s work and maintain their own records of student achievement.

The Calvert Test Series uses matching, fill-in-the-blank, true or false, and multiple-choice questions to assess content mastery. Composition and other written responses are not included, since answer keys cannot be practically provided for such assignments. Families interested in testing higher order thinking skills, both in the content areas through essay questions and in composition, should consider enrolling their students in the Advisory Teaching Service.

For students enrolled in ATS in Third through Eighth Grades, the CTS tests are included as online practice tests within the ATS online portal to help your student prepare for the ATS tests.

In Fourth through Eighth Grades, two versions of CTS tests are available, each designed to test students working in either the Academic or Scholastic  track.

The CTS tests are available only to enrolled students. They are graded by you, the Home Teacher, and should not be sent to Calvert. Transcripts and a Certificate of Completion are not available with this test series.
