- Complete the International Talent Search application. All students must complete this step first.
- After your application is complete, a SCAT Paper Testing Agreement will be sent to you via email. You can also download the form here: SCAT Paper Testing Agreement.
- Identify a proctor who will administer the SCAT to your child. The proctor should be an educational professional such as a teacher, counselor, etc. He/she should not be a family member or close family friend.
- You and the proctor should complete and sign the relevant sections of the SCAT Paper Testing Agreement.
- Please return the forms by fax or mail. The fax number and address will be listed on the form.
- Once we have received the SCAT Paper Testing Agreement, we will send the test materials to the proctor. After the SCAT administration is complete, the proctor will mail the SCAT back to the Testing Coordinator, who will score the SCAT and send the results to the student's parents.
The SCAT measures verbal and quantitative reasoning ability. There are two 20-minute sections, with 50 questions in each section. A student gets a different form of the SCAT (Elementary, Intermediate, or Advanced) depending on his/her grade level. To download sample questions for the SCAT, please see below: There is no application deadline for testing. However, please keep in mind that the testing process typically takes one month from start to finish. If parents are interested in applying for CTY’s summer programs at the earliest possible time, we ask that all application materials be received by December 1st. For parents who are interested in CTY’s distance learning programs, testing can be completed at any time. By mail: Emiko Kasahara, Ed.D.
