Learn about the Adventist Religion Achievement Test administered in several unions of the North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists. In October 1992, a report was presented to the North American Division Commission on Religious Education. The report summarized the results of the testing for the 20,515 students tested between 1989 and 1992.

In the report, items on the test were grouped according to the 27 Adventist Fundamental Beliefs and results were summarized by Belief. In addition, students were grouped according to type of SDA home background and the number of years of SDA schooling. Each item on the tests was analyzed for school effect (did students with more SDA schooling do better than those with less SDA schooling) and home effect (did students with a stronger SDA home background do better than those with a weaker SDA home background).

Common misconceptions that students had were identified along with items that showed a negligible or negative home and/or school effect. Recommendations were made for improved practice.
