Yes I homeschool and want to have DS take the test. I spoke w/ NWEA some time ago. They said that I needed to find a school near me that offered the test and ask them if I could have DS sit in with them. Someone on the WTM board did that and the school only charged her $15. But now I can't find the link for my state that listed the schools in my area which administered the test. I thought it was under the Contact Us page but perhaps they've moved it. But it would be easier to just do it at home. I've read that it's most beneficial to look over DC's shoulder so you know exactly what they've missed and why. So if my district would accept DS testing at home with out proctor, I'd like to go that route.
Last year we did the Iowa Test of Basic Skills. It's an OK test but limited to grade level. It has some oddly worded questions and I thought than rather testing out of level w/ the ITBS, it would be easier to use a test that had a high level to begin w/ like the MAP.
Is the link that Inky posted only for HSers in FLorida? I didn't see anything that stated that but perhaps I missed it since I was reading quickly.
