Testing is required by the state in grades 3, 5, 8, and 10. Some school districts require testing if home school students are to participate in public school sports or activities.

Practice tests are available through Basic Skills. They are reproducible for your own family use. You can contact them at (503) 650-5282 or www.basicskills.net.
