As a home educator sometimes you may encounter difficulties when teaching your children, or will wonder if they are on track for their age. (If you do worry, please know you are perfectly normal!) Assessments help ease your over-concerned mind and eliminate needless worry. Knowing your child's weaknesses helps you to better focus your attention; you'll know exactly where to spend your time. Discovering areas where your children excel gives you confidence, and who doesn't need a dose of that from time to time?

BJU also offers writing tests, algebra assessments and personality tests if you need specific information to better help your student. Administering Standardized TestsYou can administer standardized tests yourself, if you meet certain qualifications and your state allows you to. Some states do not allow parents to administer standardized tests to their own children, so you will need to check first.To administer standardized tests, some of the requirements you will need to meet are: have a Bachelors degree or current teaching degree, proper training, etc. Bob Jones offers training DVDs if you have never administered standardized tests before. You will need to fill out and submit an application found on the Bob Jones Tests and Evaluation website. BJU has applications for both the Stanford Achievement and Iowa tests; requirements for both tests are similar, except the SAT requires additional training, also provided by BJU.
