Compass will be offering the ITBS (Iowa Test of Basic Standards) for grades 3-8 and the ITED (Iowa Test of Educational Development) for grades 9-12 this year.  These are well-respected nationally-standardized tests that will meet the requirements for GA law as well as provide parents with an accurate assessment of their children's skills.

The tests measure educational achievement in a variety of subject areas, including language skills (vocabulary, reading, word analysis, spelling), math, social studies, and science.  This can be a good gauge of how your child is doing in certain areas compared to other students throughout the country or compared to his/her own results from previous years.  Or, you may choose to never open the results if you only want to do the test to be in compliance with the law.  The great thing about homeschooling is that parents have the freedom to choose!

While the law requires that homeschooled children take a standardized test every three years, parents are welcome to test more frequently if they choose.
