Extraordinary Education will again be hosting standardized testing for those families who choose to test. Stanford Testing at EE is open to all area homeschoolers. See below for costs and co-op expectations.
STANFORD Achievement Test (SAT)
MAY 14, 15 & 16 (TUES, WED, THUR)
Daily test period: 9:00 am-noon
(Exact times will vary by day & grade level.)
Please take some time to look over information about the test before registering. Basic testing information can be found on the BJU Press website: http://www.bjupress.com/testing/stanford.php
The Stanford Test will be ordered by families individually and administered as a group at the EE campus. The test results will be delivered directly to each family privately. Stacy Shelton is coordinating Stanford testing at EE this year.
Please register for the Stanford Test at the link below:
http://www.eventbrite.com/event/5492123088
NOTE: Tests will be ordered by parents in April. This portion of registration is for space and personnel planning only.
COSTS
- There is no Facility Fee for current EE students to take the Stanford test.
- There is a Facility Fee of $10 per student for non-members to help cover utilities, paper goods and other expenses. Priority will be given to current EE students if space becomes an issue.
- This test is being offered as a "co-op" activity. This means that the test administrators are NOT paid for their time and all testing families are expected to volunteer.
- In order to provide this opportunity for our students we need parents to serve as testers and also fill other volunteer jobs. Please indicate your volunteer preferences when you complete the registration form. (Note: To be a tester you must have a college degree in any field and register with BJU as a tester. They also have a short video to watch that EE can provide.)
A separate email will be sent out to registered families with further information about the Stanford Test procedures and how to order the test for your child/children.
THE DEADLINE TO REGISTER IS MARCH 31.
Tests will be ordered in April.
(Please do not order any tests until you receive instructions!)
It is important to point out that standardized testing is NOT required in Texas. We offer testing to families as a way to help parents assess their child's progress and assist them in making curriculum and course choices.
It is also important to note that the "SAT" test we will be administering is NOT the same "SAT" test that students take for college entrance. That test is administered by the College Board, and it is only for high school students who are preparing for college entrance.
Please contact Extraordinary Education by email with any questions you may have about SAT testing. (extraed@att.net)
