As graduated homeschooling parents and test providers for 23 years, we know how important fair prices, easy ordering, accurate order processing, and detailed reporting can be.
The
nationally standardized achievement test series we currently offer is
the CTB McGraw-Hill TerraNova (1st Edition, published in 1996 with
updated 2005 norms). We also offer the Test of Cognitive Skills 2nd
Edition (TCS/2), an aptitude (IQ) test. 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. 23 Years Supplying Tests
Worldwide ORDERING DETAILS Ordering is simple and
you do not need an order form, although if you
tested with us in 2012, you can use
the blue reorder form (the cover sheet for your
reports) but be sure to use the new 2013 pricing as noted below! For new customers, the easiest 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. PRICING INFORMATION Our new, lower year-around achievement test price for 2013 is $50 per TerraNova Plus, either Complete Battery or Survey. The TCS/2 price is $55. These prices include Priority Mail domestic delivery to you.
There are two
situations where testing costs more. 1) If you
need results faster than the typical 4-6 weeks, we
can handscore the tests and provide an accurate
computer printout for $25
for each TerraNova and $25 for each TCS/2. Order Rapid
Response Scoring (RRS). Since
CTB scoring is more comprehensive than those that we or other in-house
scoring services can provide, RRS is suggested only for situations such
as emergency entrance
to public school or to help resolve a court case.
2) 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 To make the testing process as efficient as possible, we ask you to choose a preferred test week. While we do our best to fulfill your request, we do not guarantee test weeks. If you have a situation where you have no flexibility in test administration, email us to check available options. IMPORTANT NOTES FOR NC HOMESCHOOLS First, DNPE now allows testing any time during your school year. You have 12 months from the date of opening your school to accomplish the first test, and annually thereafter. Visit our NC page for details. Second, we get many requests related to concerns about the June 30 "deadline" for test scores to be on file or mailed. It is not necessary to spend extra money for rush testing and fast scoring. This is what DNPE says: "Send results to DNPE? Only if you received a letter of
invitation to do so from DNPE this past
August. Consult that letter for all the
details and do not attach address or telephone
number changes in the same envelope with them.
Otherwise, simply keep the student achievement test
result and attendance records at your home for at
least one year after the date of testing. If
DNPE doesn’t ask to see them during that one year
period, you will have satisfied the North Carolina
law regarding the DNPE inspection of these student
records. If
the test company scoring your child's test does
not provide the test scores to you in time to meet
the June 30 DNPE postmark mail-in deadline, simply
hold the completed student attendance records
until the test results arrive from the company.
Then, send both items together to DNPE per
instructions given in your August invitation
letter. There is no need for you (or
the test company) to notify DNPE about the mail-in
delay."
