Well, we don't have access to the "official" state test. We give either the Iowa Test of Basic Skills or the California one (the CAT, I think? Not sure...) These are accepted by the state and are reasonably easy to order.

But we have to order it, pay for it, administer it (or pay someone to do so), and return it to the test company ourselves.

I don't know anyone who gives an above grade-level test. Even my homeschooling friends with GT kids give grade-level tests. Their attitude is, "It's a hoop, just jump through it and be done with it."

There's a logic to that, but there's also a strong sense of BOREDOM!
