Understand Your Child’s School Assessment
Tests.School helps parents identify school assessments, understand score reports, and decide what to do next without reducing a child to a single result.
Start with the school notice:
Confirm the complete assessment name, subject, grade or level, testing date, and preparation policy before choosing a guide.
Choose Your Starting Point
- Find the assessment your child is taking
- Understand a score report

Other School Assessments
i-Ready Inform
Renaissance Star
Canadian CCAT-7
The Canadian CCAT-7 guide explains its three batteries, score profile, gifted-screening role, and school-board preparation restrictions.
Scores and Results
Score terms do not mean the same thing across every assessment.
Use the Scores and Results hub to understand raw scores, scale scores, percentiles, stanines, growth measures, grade equivalents, placements, and domain results before opening a test-specific guide.
Family Membership
A broad annual plan may be relevant when a family is preparing more than one child, more than one grade, or more than one permitted assessment.
Read the independent Family Membership guide before comparing it with individual preparation packs. Verify current contents, access terms, learner-profile limits, renewal conditions, refund policy, and the school’s preparation rules before purchasing.
Guidance for Parents
School policy takes priority:
Some schools permit limited familiarisation, while others discourage or prohibit test-specific preparation. Follow the current instructions from your child’s school or programme.
