Question

how can i give my homeschooled child a standerize achievment test?

and get the results back within 2 weeks

Answer 1

We order from Bayside.  I think they have an extra charge for speedy rushed deliveries.

Which reminds me... I think I'd better order.   We test during public school's Spring (Easter) Break.   I'm out of work that week and it is convenient to test that week.

Answer 2

Well, it's nearly impossible to get results back from any standardized (note proper spelling) test within two weeks.

But if you have a bachelor's degree and/or a teaching certificate, you can go through BJUP for the ITBS (Iowa):

There are a few others places HS'ing families can do testing, but I'm not familiar with them.  Hopefully someone who is can help.

If your child is academically talented, you can also go through your area's talent search and have them take the SCAT, EXPLORE, or ACT & SAT much earlier.

There is also a site where you can do academic testing (not an all-encompassing standardized test) for $20 for each test and you receive the results right away:

My son has done their reading assessment and it was spot on compared to his public school testing (we were HS'ing but they did achievement and IQ testing for free).

Answer 3

Piedmont Educational Services sells many standardized tests you can administer to your child.

The turnaround time may vary.

In some states you can only order tests if you have a degree.  Some tests can only be ordered in multiple quantities.

I am giving you a link below.  Click and find out which test is right for you based on the state to which the test will be shipped.
