sadiegirl Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I have always ordered our IOWA tests from PES(Piedmont Educational Services). However, today I received an email that said they would no longer be able to provide the IOWA...only the CAT which I am not satisfied with. Where do you order your IOWA tests from and can you administer them yourself as I do here in IL? Is there another exam that anyone would recommend if I am not able to get the IOWA? My boys are in the 7th and 8th grades and I want to continue to make sure we are on track as we may make a change to a Christian school in the next year or so and I want to check our progress. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hikin' Mama Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 If you have a bachelor's degree, you can administer them yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It costs about $40 for just the ITBS test and grading services. They offer hand grading as an option, for an extra fee. They offer the CogAT along with the ITBS, if you'd like, but it's optional. They also offer the Stanford test, but you need to administer it to other children along with your own in order to administer it yourself.

nukeswife Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I used BJUP last year but this year I'm going with http://www.brewertesting.com They don't require pre-registering like BJUP, and from all I've read here seem to get you the results faster. It took about 7 weeks to get our results from BJUP and most here claim they get them from Brewer in about 2-3 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
