So, last year, I took a week and gave the kids the Iowa Test of Basic Skills. I blogged about it. It went very smoothly. They were happy and comfortable and got lots of breaks. It was hard not to help them with anything, but I followed the rules. I was pleased with how it went. I used Seton Testing Company, and they were great to work with, and I was able to view the boys' results online soon after returning the test.
This year, we still had a good experience with Seton, but administering the test was a nightmare. It was totally different with a baby in the house. It took a very long time to give all sections to both children, especially because Bug was taking the 2nd grade version, so I couldn't test them at the same time.
Next year, they will be testing at our coop, which will cost slightly more, but I think it will be worth it. This will give them practice testing in a group setting. And I won't have to work around a busy toddler's schedule.
