We acknowledge PayPal orders by return email so you’ll know everything is OK.

Test prices include use of materials for a one week (Monday - Friday) test period, postage to you, scoring, and practice exercises for grades where available. You are responsible for test return postage. Allow at least 3 weeks between your order date and your requested starting test date. We accept email rush orders subject to material availability. You pay test return postage.

If you need to make sure we received your mail order, include a self-addressed, stamped postcard or envelope that we will return to you. We do not phone or email acknowdedgements except PayPal.

We mail your test orders to arrive by the Saturday before your selected test week. After we receive the completed tests, we send your results, usually within 12 weeks. It can take longer, so order and test well in advance of any state or local deadlines.

Orders requesting lead times of less than 3 weeks should include a $10 per order rush handling charge.

Sales tax and postage charges apply only to the cost of books and accessories. Postage and handling is $1 per Guidebook and $5 for other items. The maximum postage charge is $5 per shipping address. Include your check or money order. We mail your book and accessory orders to you right away.

Orders May Be Revised, No Cancellations or Refunds, and Must Include This Signed Statement:

"I agree to take care of the tests as directed. I will administer them according to the provided instructions. I will return all materials within the specified time limit."

Email orders may simply indicate agreement rather than including an actual signature.

Scoring Options
All In-Season and many Out-of-Season tests are machine-scored by CTB McGraw-Hill and include a computer report, mailed to you only, usually within 12 weeks after we receive your properly completed tests.

Other tests are accurately hand-scored by Bayside, a CTB authorized test scorer, and include a computer report, mailed to you only, usually within 8 weeks after we receive your properly completed tests.

If you need results sooner, for purposes such as emergency entry into another school or in litigation, Bayside can hand-score your tests within 2 weeks for an additional charge.
