PLACEMENT TESTS

FREE PLACEMENT TESTS: We use placement tests to find learning gaps at the beginning
of each school year. Depending on the tests we use, we can easily take AT LEAST a week to do all of the testing. No matter what grade our child is in they begin with the lowest grade level and work their way up until they no longer know what's going on. We do this so I can review the test, find the gaps and "fill them in" while continuing our educational path. We highly suggest using an assessment and/or placement test at least once per year. It's the easiest way to gauge progress or lack-there-of. The sooner we know, the sooner we can address the issues.



AOP LANGUAGE AND MATH DIAGNOSTIC TESTS: 1st thru 12th grade. Can save as a PDF to use in future years.

Are you Ready?!

Periodically I Post a "Get Ready, Go!" Post on our Free Homeschooling 101 Facebook Site that looks something like this...

"When I say "Go", everyone post the most useful Free MATH Website you use with/for your children: GO!!"

For the next day or so, the thousands of members on the site who happen to notice the post will ZOOM into action posting about their FAVORITE sites for their children. I then come along and post the answers to our fun little blog here.

Before Reading the list below...I recommend sitting down and writing a note to yourself about what you NEED for your homeschool for each child.  (Interactive? Worksheets?  Basic Math?  Higher Levels?)

AFTER you write the note THEN check out the links.  Pick 1 or 2 per child to help with schooling for one semester then come back when you are ready to reevaluation the educational NEEDS of each child.  This will help to keep us from getting overwhelmed with the options on this list.
