briansmama Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Hi, This is the first year my ds is required to take the standardized test. We are going with the CTBS/Terra Nova because it has to be administered by a neutral person and this test is being offered to homeschoolers as a group in our community. I'm already not happy he has to take it, and I have to pay $45 for it. I really don't want to pay another $10 for the practice test unless I need to. Does anyone know if there is a free standardized practice test that is similar to this one? I'm looking for 3rd grade. TIA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang!Zoom! Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Spectrum books are usually what we've used in the past for prep. I'm not saying these are the sharpest tool in the shed for real thinking, just that they match prep for Terra Nova and others most closely. You are however, going to be out ten bucks for the books. Many states have released former at grade level tests and answers, they are online for free. Could you download some of those and work off them? I honestly detest test prep, it's one of the sorest spots in our house. I admit we do it, but I don't like the time given to it at all. It's like teaching a foreign language. Ick.
