What could be better?
So how do the Switched-On Schoolhouse Placement Tests work? Simply insert the single CD-ROM into your computer and follow the prompts on the screen. (A convenient instruction booklet with step-by-step directions is also included with the CD-ROM). Once the SOS program is uploaded, follow the directions for installing the placement tests and adding students. When complete, your child will follow instructions to begin diagnostic testing at the 300 level (3rd grade) and will continue taking quizzes and tests until he finds the questions too difficult to complete. After gathering the test data results, you'll quickly be able to determine your child's composite scores and his correct SOS grade level for each subject. How easy is that? Give your child the customized homeschool education he deserves. Order the Switched-On Schoolhouse Placement Tests today!
