About the Test: CLICK HERE for flyer
At Classical Conversations Testing Services, we believe that standardized testing is
an important part of preparing students for college entrance exams, whether your
state mandates testing or not. We take a very pragmatic attitude towards testing: the
test results are not as important as the skill of test-taking, though achievement tests
do provide parents with reliable data for evaluating progress in language and math
skills.
