Practice ONLINE California Achievement Test: TIMED

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.

This practice version of the California Achievement Test designed to allow parents and educators to easily administer a practice achievement test to their students, and allows both educators and students to experience the online testing process. Each of the sections constitutes a competency within the test and represents approximately 25% the length of the actual test. If you would prefer the complete CAT, covering reading, language, and mathematics, please click here.

Practice tests are immediately scored at time of completion and a count of the number of questions answered correctly is provided.
