CAT/6 Terra Nova Achievement Test
The Owensboro Catholic Schools use the CAT6 Terra Nova Achievement Test 2nd
Edition from CTB/McGraw Hill Company to measure the skills of our students while
allowing us to compare our performance to the performance of students throughout the
country. This test was normed in 2000 and the scores are reported in percentiles. A
percentile shows the performance of students who fell below a particular score on the
test. For example, a percentile of 60 would show that the average student in our school
scored equal to or better than 60 percent of all students who took the test. These scores
are for the test given in the spring of 2006.
