MSTP provides testing materials for home school educators in Minnesota. In cooperation with the local school district, we provide the Iowa tests as a nationally norm-referenced standardized achievement test that meet the state requirements. These tests also meet the PSEO requirements for some post-secondary institutions.

Outline

The Iowa Assessments™ Form E measure student achievement and growth across a continuum of rigorous, updated learning standards from Kindergarten through Grade 12. These assessments enable administrators and educators to monitor growth, indicate college and career readiness, and evaluate student mastery.

The cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT) measures reasoning and problem solving abilities that students have learned, and provides insight into the way students learn. Home educators who understand their student's learning styles and preferences can adapt lesson planning and instruction to better fit their student's needs. 

Objectives

To provide insight into your student's achievement and meet the MN state requirement for homeschool testing.
