The diagnostic tests are designed to aid the teacher or parent in proper placement of the student into the LIFEPAC curriculum. The testing should begin approximately two grade levels below the student's current or just completed grade level. For example, a student entering fifth grade should begin testing at the third grade level. This allows for proper grade level placement as well as identification of any learning gaps that the student may have.
This is not a timed test and the student should be given an opportunity to answer each question adequately. If the student becomes bogged down and the test seems to difficult, skip to the next section. If the test is still too difficult, this child's academic skill level has been reached and testing may stop. Each test level should take no longer than one hour.
Once the test has been administered, it is ready to be scored. The parent may use the answer key and score the test or if you desire, INDY + PLUS will score the tests for an additional $50.00 fee.
Once all tests have been completed and scored, please return then to INDY + PLUS as soon as possible. An academic advisor will call you to go over the results and let you know your curriculum is being ordered. Once curriculum has been ordered it usually takes 2-3 weeks to receive.
NOTE: It is not unusual for a student to place at more than one level in various subjects when beginning the LIFEPAC curriculum. For example, a student may be placed at 5th level in Bible, mathematics, science, and history & geography but 4th level in language arts. The majority of school time should be concentrated on the areas of lower achievement with the ultimate goal of equal skill mastery in all subjects at the same grade level.
