Testing Programs

PSAT
This test is offered to sophomores and juniors as a way to prepare for the SAT. It is given on a Wednesday in the middle of October in our gymnasium. We normally have 100% participation.

ASVAB
This test, given by the military, is helpful in directing students to careers which reflect their aptitudes and interests. It is given to juniors in the middle of the year and then a specialist comes to the classroom to help students interpret their scores.

School and College Ability Test (SCAT)
This test is used by the Academic Talent Search program at CSUS to give gifted students an opportunity to take enrichment classes. Seventh and new eighth grade students who received a 90% or higher in reading or mathematics on the Stanford Achievement test are eligible to take the exam.

Stanford Achievement Test
This test is given to 7th – 10th grades in April. The seventh and tenth graders are also given the Otis-Lennon Test to compare their ability with their achievement.

SAT/ACT
The juniors and seniors are asked to take at least two sittings of one of these two college entrance exams. The exams are explained to the juniors and their parents at College Bound Night. The scores are listed here SAT Scores

Advanced Placement Tests
At the end of the year in May, the students who have taken the Advanced Placement course are allowed to take the test. At present time we are offering three Advanced Placement courses: Calculus AB, English Literature and Composition, and Physics B.


API Scores
California State equivalent API index scores. The Academic Performance Index (API) is the cornerstone of California's Public Schools Accountability Act of 1999 (PSAA). The purpose of the API is to measure the academic performance and growth of schools. It is a numeric index (or scale) that ranges from a low of 200 to a high of 1000. A school's score on the API is an indicator of a school's performance level. The statewide API performance target for all schools is 800. The Victory Christian equivalent scores are listed here API Scores
