Standardized testing with the Stanford Achievement Test for
home-schooled students will be offered in my Seymour home this April
and May for grades 3 and up. If you would prefer the Iowa Test of
Basic Skills, or would like one of the learning abilities tests along
with the Stanford or Iowa, call me to schedule separately. The
Learning Abilities tests assess developed reasoning and
problem-solving abilities important for learning. Combined
achievement/learning abilities testing will assist you in developing
a reasonable expectation for your student's progress based on his ability.
I am a certified test administrator with Bob Jones Testing &
Evaluation Service since 1992. Testing is done over a series of three
mornings, 9 a.m. to noon for grades 4-8, two mornings for grade 3, or
one day, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. for high school. My cost is $25 per child
tested. Tests are ordered and scored through Bob Jones Testing &
Evaluation Service; the cost per test ordered is $44 plus tax (no
shipping). The tests are shipped to me; the results are sent directly
to the parents. For more information on the tests or the service, see http://www.bjupress.com/services/testing For more information on
testing in general, see http://homeschooling.about.com/cs/learning/a/testing.htm
If interested in testing your child, please contact me first before
you order because you will need the testing dates to order. There is
a 6-week lead time for ordering tests, so contact me as soon as
possible if you want to be included.
If you don't already have the BJU Press Testing & Evaluation '09
catalog, which contains the testing services information and order
form, go to http://www.bjupress.com/services/testing/documents/order-form-homeschool.pdf
to download just the order form (2009 Testing & Evaluation Homeschool
Order Form) in pdf format for mailing orders. Orders may also be
placed on-line (use the link in the above paragraph), but a
verification of homeschooling form must be signed and mailed or faxed back.
For more information or to schedule your child's testing, contact
Molly Farrington at e-mail farrdown@integritypiano.com.
