Grades 3-12
April 15 & 16, 2020
8:00 am - 12 pm
Deadline for registration and fees - March 25th
The Iowa Tests® enable parents to analyze student progress in key academic areas, offering the data needed to make informed instructional and curricular decisions.
The Iowa Tests® Evaluate*
Word analysis Reading comprehension Vocabulary
Mathematics Language Spelling
Social studies Science
We believe that standardized testing is an important part of preparing students for college entrance exams. It is important to realize that the test results are not as important as the skill of test-taking, though achievement tests do provide parents with reliable data for evaluating progress in language and math skills.
If you have a bachelors degree and are willing to volunteer for both Wednesday and Thursday, you will receive a discount on your testing fees. Please let Ruth Dammann know that you are interested when you register.
Please submit one form per family. Application and fees due by March 25th
The newest form of the Iowa Test is "E". This will be our first year using this form of the test. Please note these details taken from the Iowa test website:
Form E and Form F of the Iowa Assessments incorporate a significant reorganization of subtests and the introduction of new composite scores to reflect shifts in curricular emphases, definitions of underlying constructs, and an interest in integrated approaches to item development. The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) provided the principal impetus for the reorganization of subtests and the definition of new composite scores consistent with construct definitions reflected in the CCSS. The reading and language domains were redefined to focus attention on comprehension and writing, and shifts occurred in the sequencing and grade placement of material in the math domain. In addition to changes with subtests of Forms E and F, the subtests themselves were reorganized to reflect core content domains (Reading, Mathematics, Writing, Science, and Social Studies) and skills domains (Vocabulary, Conventions of Writing, and Computation).
