CTD has expanded its above-grade-level assessment options and made them easier to access! The new Emerging Talent Identification Program (E-TIP), allows families access to computer-based assessments remotely at home. These tests mimic the format and content of the PSAT, Pre-ACT?, SAT?, and ACT and provide scores that are highly correlated with those assessments.
