Homeschool Standarized Tests

Below are resources for obtaining standardized tests. This list is not exhastive.  The first two tests are fill-in-the-bubble-type tests, and can be administered by the parent (though some services require the parent to have a bachelor’s degree, or meet other requirements). You arent the test materials from the testing service, and do not purchase them. You return the tests, they or the publisher score the tests, and the results are returned to you.  The third test is designed for individual testing, and must be administered by a teacher with a masters degree in Special Education. Remember, you can also choose to have your child evaluated by a certified teacher. For a list of homeschool friendly evaluators, checkout our homeschool evaluator page.
