The Comprehensive Testing Program (CTP) is a rigorous assessment for students in Grades 1-11 covering reading, listening, vocabulary, writing, mathematics, and science. Verbal and quantitative reasoning subtests are part of the CTP beginning in Grade 3. The CTP helps educators assess content specific, curriculum-based performance alongside reasoning ability and conceptual knowledge.
Whole child. Whole potential.
With the ERB Whole Child Solution, you can bundle our assessments of learning achievement (CTP + Milestones) with our Check-In Survey on student well-being at school and SelfWise, our student self-report inventory on social and emotional skills.
Take your testing program to the next level with Milestone Assessments, the new complement to CTP. These short interim assessments let you track progress across the school year—leading up to or after CTP—for more targeted interventions and better curriculum design.
“The kids loved doing the tests online...the teachers were able to establish friendliness with the tests; the reports…are accessible, and we are already ‘curricularizing’ what we’ve derived from the kids’ performance. Thank you so much for guiding us through the process.”
