Success Stories and Testimonials

Overall

“Your willingness to respond effectively to your member school's needs is gratifying.”

CTP and CTP Online

“We LOVED the (CTP Online) testing! The students said it was much easier to work with, more fun, more interesting, and less stressful.  As the administrator, it was a dream!  It was very easy to set up and monitor. The reporting was also very easy and convenient ... and timely!...Thank you and ERB for all your hard work on this great product!”
- Independent School, Carmel, CA

“The kids loved doing the tests on line; … the teachers were able to establish friendliness with the tests; the reports … are quite accessible; and we are already ‘curricularizing’ what we’ve derived from the kids’ performance. Thank you so much for guiding us through the process.”
– Independent School, ME

“I love being able to print reports immediately for the teachers. That is way cool … it's been a very positive experience with our third graders.”
- Independent School, NC

“I wanted to comment to you that we did the online test for 10th Grade. It was great, the students liked it and we loved having the school report the day they were done. It was a very good experience.”

CPAA

“...every single teacher is thrilled with this assessment – and our tech people love you! CPAA is a breeze and the kids keep saying how much fun it is! ...Thanks a million!”

ISEE

“I prefer the ISEE’s report format. In addition to giving you percentages, the ISEE report gives you a breakdown of the scores on the reading comprehension and math achievement scales. The clarity of the reporting makes it easy to talk with families about the results of the test.”
- Independent School, GA

“We [also] rely on the ISEE to help us compare apples-to-apples. Children are, of course, all very different. The ISEE gives us a sort of leveling tool. The ISEE makes it easier for us to compare prospective students to students we already have. We’ve been giving the ISEE for many years here. For historical purposes, we can look back and see how students performed on the ISEE and how students performed when they got here.”
- Independent School, Baltimore, MD

“What has always impressed me about ERB and the ISEE is that they’re always asking our opinion. They always want to know what we want in the test, what we want in services – as opposed to telling us what we’ll get. That, to me, makes all the difference in the world.”
- Independent School, Cambridge, MA

“The scores give us a baseline, a comparative line, and it’s very, very valuable. I don’t want to go without scores in making decisions. I wouldn’t think of dropping testing, because we rely on it as a baseline – relative, comparative. In terms of the score report, the breakdown on the ISEE report is clear and informative. It provides the clarity and substance I seek in an admissions test.”
