First-time users order 5-6 weeks ahead, and returning users order 4 weeks ahead. See above for more details.

  • Have a Bachelor of Arts or Science degree OR
  • Be a teacher, certified by a state department of education to teach in a public school or other conventional school (homeschool or local association certification does not qualify) OR

Policy

Sometimes a test publisher makes an agreement with a state department of education or a local school district granting them exclusive use of a particular form of the test for a limited period of time. In cases where the Form E test has an embargo, BJU Press Testing & Evaluation is prohibited from offering that particular form of the test to the area covered by the agreement. Contact us if your school is affected by an embargo.

Yes. Details will be covered during DataManager training.

  • Schools have the ability to change test dates for students, so students who miss testing can take the test at a later date.
  • If the students are testing outside the testing window, please notify us so that they can be included in the group report.

Unused tests will receive a 100% refund.

A student may be added to a test roster until two business days before your test date.
