What is the cost difference between the tests?
The cost difference between the IOWA , CAT, Stanford, or PASS and the Woodcock-Johnson is the amount of labor involved administering and scoring the test as well as the training and experience of the test provider. In addition, immediate results are received with WJ III and usually a short consultation is given along with the report. A WJ III administrator will be able to answer questions about your child’s scores as well as provide insight into their performance based on observations made during the test. An administrator who also home schools should be able to provide some insight into curriculum choices and planning as well.
