Comprehensive, student-friendly testing
to measure student progress

ERB was built on quality achievement assessments. For over 80 years, ERB has provided rigorous, level-appropriate assessments of student progress in meeting essential academic standards. And now, we’re taking our commitment even further, making many assessments available online for instant, actionable results.

ERB achievement assessments include:

Children's Progress Academic Assessment (CPAA)

An online innovative, efficient, child-friendly formative assessment process in English language arts and mathematics, CPAA features a patented system that automatically adjusts the questions based upon a child’s performance on previous questions on the assessment. Fun for children, practical and easy-to-use for teachers, and informative for school administrators. Instant score reports and suggestions for next-steps instruction are provided.  For Pre-K through Grade 2.

Comprehensive Testing Program (CTP) and CTP Online

Serving the needs of students and schools that aspire to meet essential academic standards, CTP is a rigorous series of assessments in English language arts, science* and mathematics for Grades 1–11. Verbal and Quantitative Reasoning tests are included for Grades 3-11.  Links to next steps instructional suggestions available in the CTP Online.

* Science in CTP Online only

Writing Assessment Program (WrAP)  

Unlike any other writing assessment available today, WrAP provides both analytical and traditional holistic scoring indices, enabling schools to assess their students’ writing performance in Grades 3-12 in accord with essential writing standards. With a six-trait, six-point rubric, the results help target next-steps writing instruction and student learning goals.  Provides independent, public, and overseas international norms.

Writing Practice Program (WPP)

An innovative, online, user-friendly program, the WPP provides unlimited opportunities for individual students in Grades 3 - 12 to improve their writing skills online, at their own pace with instant feedback and access to online tutorials for learning support. Use it to help build better writers as part of your ongoing writing curriculum.  Based on the same writing rubric as the WrAP.

ERB Pathways to Math

ERB Pathways to Math are ideal for students who are seeking to further strengthen their already strong mathematics skills, as well as for those who need targeted, ongoing help in “catching up” on specific concepts and skills as identified through CTP or CTP Online.
