It’s the end of another school year, and that means standardized testing is on every homeschool parent’s mind. If you’re in the US, you’ll want to check with the laws for opening a homeschool in your state. Some states require the student test every year, while others only require testing every third year. You can do review those laws by clicking your state on this map: HSLDA.org/legal
This is a list of companies that host standardized testing. Your child can take the test online, or you can request a physical copy by mail. There are also testing centers where your child can take the test with a proctor, as certain tests require someone with a Bachelor degree administer the test. Be sure to review the testing requirements before purchasing.
