IOWA TESTING DATES

Please note.

This Spring, we will offer the IOWA Standardized test for our members at Legacy. We do not charge an extra fee for administrating these test to our current members. The prices for the test can be found on the BJUPress website. This year, we will process the testing materials differently. You will need to order the tests yourself. This way, you will pay Bob Jones University directly. I will supply you with my tester's number and location so that you can order these tests.

The tests need to be order four weeks prior to the testing date. No later than that! We begin testing on April 30, 2009. All tests will be shipped to my home. There will be a small fee to assist with shipping cost back to BJU. Once tests are completed, the results will be mailed directly to your home. It will not be sent back to me. This is the advantage of you purchasing your own tests.

Both Kim and I will be available to answer questions.

Here are guidelines to follow:

1) You can order the IOWA test by itself or with the COGAT. Please read on the BJUPress website concerning these tests. Make sure you read carefully and choose the one that best fits your child. The CogAT is age related and not grade leveled.

2) We will only administer the IOWA and COGAT tests for 3rd graders to 8th graders.

I am posting this at this point in time so that you can read and have plenty of time to determine if testing is right for you. In the state of South Carolina, homeschooler's are not required to test their children. Yet, it is recommended that you begin testing your child in the third grade. We plan to hold a small inservice on intrepreting your results prior to the test. Please watch the calendar for futher details on this inservice.

DO NOT ORDER YOUR TESTS AT THIS TIME!!!!

I WILL POST AGAIN WHEN IT GETS CLOSER TO THE DATE!
