The purpose of the Catholic Knowledge Assessment is to determine how much knowledge a person has regarding the Catholic faith. This is a tool for catechesis, so they know where to devote their efforts to benefit students. There are two levels of assessment. The first level is basic and is appropriate for young students and those new to Christianity. The second assessment is more suitable for adults and those in Catechism and RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) classes.
