TerraNova 3 Complete Battery

TerraNova practice tests

TerraNova is a nationally normed achievement test many schools give each spring, and one that many homeschool families order to meet their state's testing rules. The Complete Battery tests reading, language and mathematics (with science and social studies), and the optional Plus tests add vocabulary, language mechanics, spelling and math computation.

Our TerraNova-style practice tests follow the published Complete Battery lengths and times for Grades 3 to 8 in Reading, Language and Mathematics, plus three of the Plus tests: Vocabulary, Language Mechanics and Mathematics Computation. Each test is new when your child starts it, and the score shows straight away.

Remember
Capitalize the first word of a sentence and the names of particular people, places, days, months, events, documents, groups, and languages, and words made from them, such as Mexican.
Grade 8 (Level 18), Mathematics Computation
How is 4,400,000 written in scientific notation?
1. A4.4 × 10⁷
2. B4.4 × 10⁶
3. C44 × 10⁵
4. D4.4 × 10⁵
Show the answer and whyHide the answer
AnswerB4.4 × 10⁶
1. Scientific notation is a number at least 1 and less than 10, times a power of 10.
2. 4,400,000 = 4.4 × 10⁶
  The decimal point moves 6 places, and a large number has a positive exponent.
3. Final answer
  4.4 × 10⁶.
Remember
With the same base, multiplying adds the exponents, dividing subtracts them, and a power of a power multiplies them.

Questions

What parents ask

Are these real TerraNova questions?: No. TerraNova questions are secure. We write our own questions in the style of each test, at the published length and time.
Which level should my child practice?: The level for your child's grade: Level 13 in Grade 3, Level 14 in Grade 4, and so on to Level 18 in Grade 8.
Is this the CAT/6 or TerraNova 2?: Our lengths follow TerraNova 3's Complete Battery. TerraNova 2 (sold as the CAT/6) covers the same subjects with a combined Reading/Language Arts test, so the practice suits it too.
Can my child take the tests over several days?: Yes, and that is how most families give the real one. Each of our tests is its own sitting.
Is it free?: A free account includes 3 practice tests. A plan opens unlimited TerraNova-style tests and shows which questions were right, the right answers and a worked solution for each. The achievement test pack (US$49 for six months) covers Iowa, TerraNova, Stanford 10 and CTP; the US bundle (US$99) covers every US test we offer.
