Another "Best Deal on the Planet"

State-Of-The-Art Math & Reading Assessment
For Grades 1-8


Would You Like To Know?

  • how your student stacks up against thousands of other students around the country?
  • which of your state's standards she is ready to learn?
  • how well she is likely to do on a high-stakes test?
  • how to find appropriate learning materials for her?

The Homeschool Buyers Co-op is pleased to offer a powerful new assessment tool that can accurately and authoritatively answer those questions for you. It's called A+LearningLink, and it is being made available to Co-op members by American Education Corporation and GL Assessment, a world-wide leader in online assessment.

A Simple, Easy, Affordable & Definitive Assessment

A+LearningLink is a new, state-of-the-art online assessment tool that --
  • accurately measures your student's current Lexile® and Quantile® scores,
  • provides a detailed profile of her strengths and weaknesses relative to state standards, and
  • shows you your student's math and reading skill against a norm-referenced national group of approximately 15,000 students around the United States.

How Does It Work?

In order to give members access to this authoritative assessment tool, the Co-op has agreed to purchase and administer a school subscription to A+LearningLink. To protect your confidentiality, the Co-op will NOT share personally identifiable information with anyone. (Please see "Privacy" under the offer "Terms & Conditions" for details.)

Here's the overall process:

  1. Place your order below.
  2. Allow 3 business days for the Co-op to get your student(s) set up in the A-LearningLink system.
  3. We will post the information your student needs to take the tests in your Co-op account on your "My Subscriptions" page, and notify you by email when that information is available.
  4. Have your student take the math pre test and the reading pre test right away.

    (Notes: We recommend you take post tests at the END of your homeschool semester or homeschool year in order to measure progress over an adequate period of time. A+LearningLink recommends an interval of at least 3 months between pre and post tests. Note: You can take each test only once.)

  5. The Co-op will generate your student's test results the following Wednesday in your "My Subscriptions" page, and notify you by email when that happens.

Please use this order form to purchase the A+LearningLink Assessment for a single student. (If you want to order this assessment for another student, please place a separate order.)

An A+LearningLink Assessment includes PRE and POST tests in math and reading - FOUR tests and FOUR assessments reports.

The PRE tests allows you to see where your student stands now and customize your course of study as needed. The POST tests let you assess your progress at the end of your course of study.

It's up to you to decide when to take the PRE and POST tests, but the recommended interval is at least a few months and no longer than a homeschool year.

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Select the state or national standards against which you want to benchmark your student from the "Standards Set" menu above. A single asterisk (*) denotes standards sets that the test creators think may be most meaningful to homeschoolers in selected states, but it is up to you to pick the standards set that is most meaningful to you or that is required by law, if at all, in your state. There is no such thing as a national standard, but standards sets preceded by double asterisks (**) denote standards that are used by many states, and might be a good choice for you if you aren't required to benchmark against a particular state's standards.
  2. Enter your student's first name in the space provided below.
  3. Enter your student's data of birth in the space provided below. This is necessary in order to rank your student against students nationally.
  4. Select the grade level at which you want your student to be tested.
  5. Complete the rest of this order form.
  6. Submit your order.
  7. Please allows 3 business days for the Co-op to get you set up and publish instructions and the needed access codes in your Co-op account. We will notify you by email when that happens, but you can also simply check back after 3 business days.
  8. IMPORTANT: Please take your PRE tests soon, and plan on taking your POST tests no later than JULY 20, 2010, as we will be switching over to the 2010-2011 school year on August 1, 2010. Thanks!
