Standardized Testing Opportunities latest revision: Spring 2016
Homeschooled students in Michigan, and therefore Partnership students, are not required to participate in state mandated or any other form of standardized testing. Testing is entirely optional at any point in a student's journey and up to the parent to seek opportunities.
Here is a compilation of testing opportunities:
Berrien Springs Public Schools: BSPS has allowed high school juniors to participate in the M-STEP process in the past which takes the place of the ACT in public schools. BSPS also invites elementary students to participate in standardized testing at the appropriate grade levels when offered to the public school students. PSAT testing is also available for students in grades 9 and 10.
This is the testing policy:
Home schooled students are not required to take state assessments, however, if they choose to, then the district in which they reside in is required to test the student. If they are members of the Berrien Springs Home School Partnership they will test with us, even if they do not reside in our district. The PSAT 9 and 10 as well as the SAT, ACT WorkKeys, and the M-STEP are state assessment so they will be free of charge to home schooled students. Eleventh grade students must take all three components of the MME, not just the SAT College Entrance Exam.
Contact Sharon Haynes by 2/14/16 if you want to be included in BSPS spring testing.
The October PSAT/NMSQT is not a required state assessment so it will not be paid for by the state. Eleventh grade students in the partnership may take this test with us, but the charge will be $17.

At Classical Conversations Testing Services, we believe that standardized testing is
an important part of preparing students for college entrance exams, whether your
state mandates testing or not. We take a very pragmatic attitude towards testing: the
test results are not as important as the skill of test-taking, though achievement tests
do provide parents with reliable data for evaluating progress in language and math
skills.
