Donny & Sandy Ball's Bayside School Services offers the best do-it-yourself standardized achievement tests. Our services are available all year long, except when we take a break to travel and do more photography for our ads in the NCHE Greenhouse Report and the HEAV Home Educator.

Bayside gives you original publisher materials plus genuine CTB scoring reports. We include free publisher recommended test familiarization practice exercises for TerraNova grades K-8 and TCS/2 grades 2-12.

ORDERING DETAILS

Ordering is simple and you do not need an order form, although if you tested with us in 2011, you should make use of the blue reorder form (the cover sheet for your reports).

The best way to order is to mail us your name, address, phone#, and preferred test week. Tell us the grade level(s) and test type for each student and if you prefer the shorter (not easier) Survey. Include your check or money order.

Or you can email your order with PayPal.com. Visit their site to sign up for this easy to use service. Then simply "Send Money" to orders@baysideschoolservices.com.

Include your ordering information in the comment section or in a separate email. PayPal will let you know they sent the payment and we will let you know we received it.

The test price for 2011/2012 is $55 per TerraNova Plus, either Complete Battery or Survey. This price includes Priority Mail domestic delivery but does not include the required Priority Mail return postage.

There are three situations where testing costs more.

1) If you need to test ASAP or request a test week with less than 3 weeks lead time, add $10 per order (not per test).

2) If you need results faster than the typical 4-6 weeks, we can handscore the tests and provide an accurate computer report for $25 for each TerraNova and $25 for each TCS/2. Order Rapid Response Scoring (RRS).

3) If your mailing address is not in the USA (armed forces addresses are!) and your country is on the Priority Mail International list, add $15 for up to 3 tests. For more than 3 tests or other countries contact us for mailing options.

Important: Do not let affordability determine your test choice. We have a limited amount of partial scholarship assistance available if cost is the issue. Request help with an email to help@baysideschoolservices.com or written request to us at the below mailing address.
