I don't know what state you are in, here in Michigan you can go to the mi.gov/mde, which is the department of education website and in GLCE's, which are our "standards", also you can print the parent guide that goes along with it.

I would read your homeschool law carefully. Here you are allowed to take MEAP testing with whatever public school you would have been assigned. But, the schools don't necessarily know that, and in our case had to be directed to the state website information.

If there isn't a state mandate for testing and they don't allow you to participate in any testing you can also have yearly testing done privately. We have MEAP here but it really doesn't tell you much so we are having our DD9 take the ITBS through a testing company.

It's amazing how fast they can be sometimes. Really makes you think about all that time they spend in a public classroom...
