Consumer Reports tests 18 home pregnancy tests, focusing on the marketing claim that many are 99% accurate. The editors point out that to make this claim, manufacturers are only required to show that a test matches the results of an older test already on the market 99% of the time, so it's simply a comparison between older and newer tests. The tests are evaluated for sensitivity and ease of reading. CONSUMER'S REPORT DEEMED THIS ONE THE BEST: "First Response Early Result Pregnancy Test" emerged as the most reliable and sensitive test. It detects hCG at concentrations as low as 6.5 mlU/ml (thousandths of an International Unit per milliliter.) The rest of the pregnancy testing products could not come within this range.
