Stanford
Achievement Test
PA state law
requires that the portfolios of homeschool students in grades 3, 5 & 8
include the results of a nationally normed standardized achievement test
in reading / language arts and mathematics. In PA, parents cannot
administer these tests to their own children. The state department of
education recognizes ten tests , one of
which is the Stanford Achievement Test (SAT).
I plan to
administer the SAT to home schooled students in grades 3 through 12 in
my home on April 19, 20 & 21, 2004. Last year, the cost was $41.57 per
student ($36.57 to BJU, plus $5 payable to me). I must receive your
completed order form and payment to BJU no later than February
22, 2004. We expect to receive test results by June 11.
Please
call BJU Press at 1 800 945-5731 to have your name and address added to
their mailing for the 2004 Home Education Services Catalog or download
the order form at
www.bjup.com/services/testing/orderinfo.html.
The 2004 edition of the order form might not be available until January
or February.
If you
are interested in becoming a test administrator through BJU, I would be
happy to loan you the instructional materials (2-hour video and
accompanying notebook). There is no other cost, but the authors of the
test require that you have a bachelor's degree.

Some districts will
test homeschool students with public school students. Contact your
school district in the fall
to find out if this will be possible. They must offer one of the ten
state-approved tests (approved for
homeschool
students) for your child's grade. Also consider the attitude homeschool
students encounter at your particular
school district -
it could affect your child's test scores.
