Testing Materials

Year-End Assessment and Test Preparation

Tests are designed to help you, the parent, understand: A) what your child is expected to know at the end of each grade, and B) how your child is doing. The tests are similar to national standardized tests, giving results that will vary according to the curriculum you have used, since each publisher has their own program of teaching.

Tests only reveal a sample of the child's knowledge, but they help in evaluating your child's strengths and weaknesses. These tests cover the core areas of language arts and math. To get accurate results, follow the instructions explicitly. These materials are produced by Basic Skills Assessment and Educational Services, and have been used successfully for many years.
