THE PRINCETON REVIEW
STANDARDIZED TESTING
In Arizona, home schoolers are not required to do standardized testing including the AIMS test. It is up to the individual parent/family whether or not to do standardized testing.
One benefit to doing periodic standardized testing is that it gives your students practice taking norm-referenced tests. It can also give you a reliable measure of your child's performance as compared with other students their age throughout the nation.
Other means of evaluation would include curriculum-specific tests and daily observation. One-on-one interaction between parent and child shows a parent how well their child is learning a specific body of knowledge and skills.
If you wish to have your child take a standardized test, check with your independent support group to see if they offer testing. If they do not, there are several resources offering testing materials. A few of them include:
Seton Testing Service
Bayside School Services
Family Learning Organization
Bob Jones University Press
Hewitt Homeschool Resources (The PASS Test)
