Standardized Testing Opportunities     latest revision: FALL 2022

Home-school 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 it is up to the parent to seek opportunities. 
​
'22-'23 Schedule

The PSAT-NMSQT is offered in October of 2022 for all Juniors (only), and the regular PSAT 8/9 and 10 in the spring.  Contact us by Sept. 1 if interested in participating. 
SPRING  NWEA testing will be offered to all Partnership Students Grades K - 7 in April or May of 2023. 
Amy Scott will send out an invitation for possible Fall 22 and Spring 23 testing.   The cost is
 $15
Contact Amy Scott with any standardized testing questions: ascott@shamrocks.us

About the Test:  CLICK HERE for flyer

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.
