The CTY Talent Search is designed for students in grades 2-8 who want to see how far they can challenge their intellectual abilities. While standardized tests taken at school can demonstrate a student’s performance at grade level, the CTY Talent Search uses above-grade-level testing to give families a true picture of their child’s academic strengths.


Students who test through CTY Talent Search receive a digital certificate and their test results in MyCTY, along with detailed information on how tests are scored. They may also qualify for CTY’s in-person and online courses. Students with top test scores receive a digital certificate of High or Grand Honors/SET.
