As you look forward to your upcoming testing, this preliminary information may be helpful in planning your testing sessions.

BJU Press Testing & Evaluation is providing Form E of the Iowa Assessments. We are also offering the CogAT^® Form 7 in combination with Iowa testing.

• Please read and follow our Checklist and Guidelines, a copy of which will be included with the materials and is also available on the Getting Started page.
• If you are combining multiple grades, remember that Grades 3–8 (Levels 9–14) may be tested together, and Grades 9–12 (Levels 15–18) may be tested together.
  • One copy of the directions will be sent automatically for each grade grouping ordered. Multiple orders going to the same tester may be shipped from our office together. If you plan to have more than one group of students within the same grade grouping test at the same time, you will want to request extra directions for that test when ordering.
    • If extra directions booklets are shipped separately from the tests, a minimum $3.99 shipping/handling fee applies.
    • Level 9 contains two extra subtests, Word Analysis and Listening, which are not contained in Levels 10–14. These optional subtests will need to be administered separately from any other tests in Grades 3–8 and will require approximately 45 minutes of additional testing time (see testing schedule in the link below).
    • A single test level (Level 17/18) is shared by students in Grades 11 and 12. The national trend is to take an achievement test during either Grade 11 or Grade 12 and to take the ACT or SAT during the other grade.
• The test results report will reflect the student’s grade level at the time of testing based on the appropriate norm-referenced comparisons.
• Calculators may be used for math subtests only when permitted by the Directions for Administration. Calculators should be four-function, not graphing or scientific calculators.
• Full testing schedules are available.
• For children with an IEP please see information for students needing accommodations.

As you look forward to your upcoming testing, this preliminary information may be helpful in planning your testing sessions.

• Please read and follow our Checklist and Guidelines, a copy of which will be included with the materials and is also available on the Getting Started page.
• Pearson’s scoring service uses SESAT 1 through Primary 3 in a write-in, one-part booklet format.
• If you will need more than one directions booklet for any single test level, you will want to request these directions when ordering.
  • If multiple orders are shipped to the same tester, there will still be only one directions booklet sent per test level unless extra directions are ordered.
  • If extra directions booklets are shipped separately from the tests, a minimum $3.99 shipping/handling fee applies.
  • If you are testing students with SESAT, Primary, Intermediate, and/or Advanced levels, one copy of the directions will be sent for each test level ordered.
    • With the exception of Listening, an Intermediate 1 or 2 Directions for Administering may be used to test the entire Intermediate group, and a single Advanced Directions for Administering may be used to test the entire Advanced group if you would like to combine grades for testing.
      • When applicable, we will include a separate chart to show which pages should be used in the different test levels’ student books.
    • Intermediate 1 contains a Word Study Skills subtest that is not contained in Intermediate 2 or 3. This one subtest will need to be administered separately from any combined Intermediate testing and will require approximately 20 minutes of additional testing time. The Word Study Skills subtest is necessary for both a Basic and a Complete Battery.
  • For TASK booklets, only one Directions for Administering will be sent per shipment, unless extra directions are ordered.
• Grades 11 and 12 share a single test level (TASK 3). The national trend is to take an achievement test during either Grade 11 or Grade 12 and to take the ACT or SAT during the other grade.
• The test results report will reflect the student’s grade level at the time of testing based on the appropriate norm-referenced comparisons.
• Calculators are permitted for the Stanford 10 only as indicated in the Directions for Administering. Calculators should be four-function, not graphing or scientific calculators.
• As a test administrator, please remember that the Stanford 10 is an untimed test; however, the OLSAT^® is still timed. Please see this chart listing approximate times for administering the Stanford 10.
