What is the ERB? What is ERB Testing?
While you may hear parents refer to the “ERB test,” ERB is actually a test-prep company that provides several different tests for children ages K through 12 applying to independent schools and exclusive public school programs.
ERB is primarily associated with three tests: the AABL, the ECAA test, and the ISEE, and three assessments: the CTP, the WrAP, and the CPAA. Each of the ERB tests is unique, but the common denominator is that the tests measure achievement and reasoning skills.
Tests
The AABL is used to determine admission to gifted and talented programs for children between the ages of 4 and 6. The test is given on an iPad, and uses graphics to test children on verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, early literacy, and mathematics.
