This region currently offers schools the booklet-version Terra Nova Plus 1^st Edition complete battery by CT McGraw Hill.  The Terra Nova achievement testing program has incorporated into this edition more testing on word analysis and math computation skills to meet  educators' current expectations.  The Terra Nova Test Series offers a state-of-the-art  edition to measure student progress toward high academic standards. The Complete Battery Assessment will help school educators with the data needed for educational planning.  

For extra help preparing an order, please visit our Order Prep page!  Orders are accepted up to May 14th.   Schools with a minimum of 25 students may test anytime during the year and do not have a deadline!  If you would like to attempt to get the results back by the end of the school year, testing should be done in March.  Machine Scoring Reports include Cal-Stick label, Individual Test Record, Home/Parent Report, and Class Record Sheet.

Quick Overview:

Required: You will need a Terra Nova Examiner's Manual for each group being tested. (4th-12th can be tested together or grouped depending on local situation, K-3rd require testing separately by grade level.)

Required: You will need a Terra Nova Test Booklet for each student.

Required: You will need a Compuscan Answer Sheet for each student 4th grade and higher (3rd and below write directly in test booklet).

Required: You will need to order a Machine Scoring for every student.  (Choose the TERRANOVA & TCS/2 Machine Scoring if also including the optional Test of Cognitive Skills.)

Optional: You can optionally offer Terra Nova practice tests for K-5th. (A small amount of time should be allocated beforehand for 4th and 5th graders taking practice tests if testing the 4th or 5th graders together with 6th grade.)  You will need separate Terra Nova practice test instructions for each classroom. (4th and 5th can practice test together.)

Optional:  You can also offer the Test of Cognitive Skills TCS2 to your 2nd-12th grade students, which assesses the academic aptitude and potential rather than actual achievement.  Terra Nova measures actual achievement and TCS assesses aptitude and potential.  TCS test booklets cost $7.50 each for 4th grade and higher, but only cost $2 extra for TCS scoring/reporting when testing with Terra Nova.  2nd and 3rd grade use $8.50 consumable test booklets, plus the $2 extra for scoring/reporting.  You will need a TCS Examiner's Manual for each classroom and a TCS Test Book for each student.  TCS practice tests are available for $1, which requires separate practice test instructions. 

New school customers:  Your cost per student for materials and machine scoring will likely average between $50-$60 your first year, because you do not have test booklets and examiner manuals on hand from a previous year.  This figure can be higher or lower depending on classroom size (larger classes are less expensive), whether you use the optional TCS (approximately a $10 difference), and whether you use practice tests (approximately a $1 difference).

Existing school customers:  Keep in mind students in 3rd grade and under can cost approximately $49 each because they use consumable test booklets ($57.50 if also using TCS2) and $3 more if using the Terra Nova Practice Test.  Students in 4th grade and higher will cost approximately $36 for Compuscan Sheet and Machine Scoring ($38 if also using TCS2).  You may also need extra test booklets or examiner manuals.
