TAKE A LOOK AT HOW TO GET READY
​Take a look at getting ready for the Stanford Achievement Test. 

This video will show you how to do the steps for your system check and downloading the Pearson browser. The function of the Pearson browser is to restrict the computer from any access to other materials or websites, so we will not do the actual download as it will stop the video as it secures the computer for test taking.

We will also review for you the Homeschool Test Form which is required for all students taking the test with us. We will note to the parent, the downloads below and what you do with them on test day. You will run a system check on the computer that will be used for testing and show you what that should look like.  After that you will download the Pearson Browser which must be used to take the test.
