Vendor And Product Information

Vendors and Products Offered

• Affordable Homeschool Testing Services
  Our mission at Affordable Homeschool Testing Services is to help homeschool parents by offering high quality, modern assessments. We offer MAP® GrowthTM assessments, untimed, online tests children may take at home. MAP Growth adapts to the student’s performance across grade-level, so every student gets a test that is tailored to them, whether they are working at, above or below grade-level (or even a mix of the three). Within days, parents receive detailed score reports (typically 30-60 pages) that tell them what their child knows and what they are ready to learn next, and how much academic growth is typical for students like their child.
