Computerized Testing
CAPP Associates has developed software known as the CAPP Test Administrator (CTA) for the purpose of delivering computerized tests forms.  Their software is capable of delivering some of MDTP test forms.  Information on their software and pricing is available from The National Assessment Testing Clearinghouse (NATC).

CTA is designed to provide schools with maximum flexibility in choosing the assessment tests which best meet their needs. Any combination of paper and pencil along with a variety of publisher produced computerized tests can be fully integrated using CTA.  CTA runs on Window's computers. Phone and online support is available.

The MDTP annual license is valid for both paper and pencil forms and for computerized forms.  In addition to the license fee, CAPP Associates charges a per student per test fee for the computerized forms and requires a yearly minimum charge of $400 worth of testing.  They do not charge for the CTA software nor is there any initial cost. 

Try out CTA without any risk!
The CTA Demo CD version is available and shows the tests as they would run and appear at your testing center. The demo runs on Win95 thru XP PC's (no installation required - uses CD-Rom).
