    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. Huge help

      I am very thankful to have found Academic Excellence !! As a homeschooling momma I appreciate the convenience and flexibility this site offers. I am very pleased ! on 29th Feb 2024

    2. Helpful and smooth

      We had a very successful testing with low stress. The online test moves quickly if the student prefers to complete the test in one day on 28th Feb 2024

    3. Great option

      I'm in my last year of homeschooling, and I am so thankful that the CAT test was an option for me (not having a bachelor's degree) to give to our children throughout their homeschooling experience. It was great to choose the paper test in their elementary grades. Later we upgraded to online testing and then timed online testing in their middle and high school years. Thank you for providing this test option! on 22nd Oct 2023

    4. Great price for great product

      We have used the CAT test from Academic Excellence for years. It is so quick and easy, especially when you have 5 students testing together. It can be time consuming, overwhelming, and expensive. It shows where there strengths and weaknesses are and how they stand in the national average. on 24th Aug 2023

    5. Great test

      I’ve been using CAT for the last 4 years and it works great for our family. The timed version is helpful to give kids the chance to practice monitoring their pace and focus in an exam environment but definitely gives enough time for completion (even for the slower areas). So east and fast to use - would highly recommend. The expectations for grade level are very basic but it’s helpful to know how the kids are learning in relation to their peers. on 28th Jul 2023

    6. Excellent Test for Homeschoolers

      I was unsure about buying the timed test since my child typically needs a bit of extra time on exams. I decided to have her try it, as an experiment to see how she would handle the pressure of managing her time. The format was visually helpful and allowed her to monitor her progress. She completed each section within the amount of time given. She did not have time to revisit the questions and check her answers, but still scored above grade level. We have also tried the Stanford 10 in previous years but felt this test was a better fit for our family. on 18th Jul 2023

    7. Only test we use

      We have been using this test for seven years. It is easy, fast, and very convenient for us to meet our state requirements. It also gives peace of mind seeing how our children are learning year to year. on 11th Jun 2023

    8. Easy to use

      We’ve used the online CAT for years. Super easy to use. Nice comprehensive test. on 11th Jun 2023

    9. So Glad I Chose This Product.

      My student who has never taken a timed test before found this to be easy to go through and not stressful. It was perfect! on 18th May 2023

    10. Fast, Easy to use, Informative

      When you order the online tests, you have immediate access, or you can wait indefinitely to administer.

      The test itself is easy to administer, start, pause, restart, and submit. The test is broken up into several parts and sections, making it simple to spread the test out over several days.

      The results are delivered immediately upon completion of the entire test, very informative, and easy to read.
