Test Restrictions
State Restrictions: Iowa tests are not available for customer use in Iowa, Missouri (grades 9–12), South Carolina (Level 7) and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Tests can only be purchased by homeschools or small private schools (enrollment under 100).
The Iowa Tests meet most state’s requirements for an annual, nationally normed standardized test and offer educators a diagnostic look at how their students are progressing in key academic areas.
Available for Kindergarten to Grade 12, the Iowa tests allow educators to trace student achievement growth continuously. These tests can be administered year-round by someone with at least a B.A. degree.
