Registration<\/b><\/p>\n

Registration is now open to eligible candidates. Eligibility requires the student to be enrolled in the eighth grade during the 2024-2025 school year.

Register either online (the preferred method) or via the phone. Click the Registration link at the top, left corner of the TACHS homepage: <\/span>https:\/\/tachsinfo.com\/<\/span><\/a> or call 1-866-61TACHS (1-866-618-2247).<\/span><\/p>\n

Fees<\/b><\/p>\n

The fee to register is $71. The price includes administration of the exam, the reporting of scores to your three high school choices, and online access to the student’s Home report.<\/span><\/p>\n

System Setup For Test Day<\/b><\/p>\n

The TACHS test is administered online, remote, and at home. Therefore, it is crucial to set up your student\u2019s testing equipment beforehand and ensure they know how to operate the system.

Test Format and Focus<\/b><\/p>\n

The TACHS is a multiple-choice test that\u2019s designed to test students\u2019 knowledge in the following key subtest areas\u2014reading, written expression, mathematics, and general reasoning ability.<\/span><\/p>\n

Expect the difficulty level of the questions to be on par with what a typical eighth-grade student should have mastered.<\/span><\/p>\n

The questions on the TACHS will have either four or five answer choices, with alternating letter options (A, B, C, D, or J, K, L, M, etc.). Your student\u2019s job will be to indicate the choice that most effectively answers each question.<\/span><\/p>\n

Test Day and Beyond<\/b><\/p>\n

You\u2019ve done everything you can to prepare your student for the test, now it\u2019s time to see their skills and abilities. Afterward, scores will be distributed to the top three Catholic high schools in mid-December, and score reports will be available to test takers in mid-January.<\/span><\/p>\n
