Age 3-Grade 3 Programs


Assessment


CTD does testing for both program eligibility and talent identification. For age 4 through grade 1, CTD offers the group- administered Measures of Academic Progress (MAP®


), which


assesses what students are ready to learn in math and reading. For age 4 through grade 3, CTD also offers the individually administered Kaufman Test of Educational Achievement (KTEA), which measures math and reading achievement. Students in grade 3 may take the PSATTM


Midwest Academic Talent Search (NUMATS). PSATTM


8/9 above-grade-level through Northwestern University’s 8/9 is a test


designed for students in grades 8 and 9, but when it is given to high-achieving students in grade 3, it identifies areas of exceptional academic talent and pinpoints what a student is ready to learn more clearly than grade-level tests. For more information, please visit ctd.northwestern.edu/assessment.
