General Information Available for grades 2 - 12, the Survey is a short form of the CAT/5 and takes less than 3 hours to administer. Like the California Achievement Test 5th Edition Complete Battery, it was published and normed in 1992.
It covers all the same subject categories but contains only 20 questions in each section. Scoring still includes percentile, stanine, and grade equivalency. All grades are in nonconsumable format which requires the student to mark answers on a separate answer sheet.
