海角原创 offers Iowa Assessments for any at-home educator seeking to test their Kindergarten through 12th grade student(s). You do not need to be enrolled with 海角原创 to sign up for tests!

How much does it cost?

$47.99 per test
Enrolled student discounts

When is it offered?

海角原创 provides on-demand testing, year-round! Our standard Norm-dates are:

Fall Norms: September 1 海角原创鈥� November 30
Mid-year Norms: December 1 海角原创鈥� March 31

We 海角原创鈥檝e divided the Iowa Assessments complete battery of tests into a 2- or 3-day testing schedule which prevents your student from getting 海角原创鈥渂urnt out 海角原创鈥� because they sat at a computer for the entirety of the tests in one sitting. We have also built in break times in-between major subject areas so your student can mentally reset.

Need testing only between certain hours because of a busy activity schedule? Are you a home-schooling family learning abroad and therefore in different time zones? 海角原创 understands that sometimes our at-home educators need an extra bit of flexibility when testing their students, so we offer a completely customizable testing schedule at an additional cost. If this sounds like you, contact an advisor at 707-255-6499 or email at .

How does it work?

海角原创 offers the Iowa Assessments completely online and without the need to download any additional apps or programs. Using Riverside Insight 海角原创鈥檚 Data Manager Remote Proctoring Portal鈩� (DMRPP), students need only to log in with their provided Student ID and Session Code and begin testing. A live proctor will approve access to the test once the session is scheduled to begin and will then monitor the student 海角原创鈥檚 progress via video. Any issues that arise will be initially addressed through the DMRPP 海角原创鈥檚 live-chat messaging feature. Please note however, that while a live proctor will handle most testing administration requirements and issues, a parent should still be available to address in-person issues.

Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grade tests are 海角原创鈥淎udio-led, 海角原创鈥� meaning the testing platform will read instructions to your student as he or she works through each set of questions. Tests for 3rd through 8th grades are timed but are considered 海角原创鈥渟elf-paced. 海角原创鈥� It is up to your student manage his or her time on each question. Once a component test is complete the proctor will advance your student to the next component test on the schedule.

Once the entire battery of tests are complete, scores will be generated and disseminated typically within 2 business days.

Score Reports include:
