IMPORTANT NOTE: Per ETA SIGMA ALPHA National Homeschool Honor Society, scores from at home tests administered under the supervision of a parent or guardian are not eligible for membership qualification. An adult test supervisor may administer the test in the home, provided the parent is not in the room. Students are welcome to test at another person’s home or business. This rule applies to both paper tests and online testing. Read ETA's full membership testing policy here.

Once capacity has been reached for the in-person dates, the only option will be to take the test at home. Therefore, if you want to take the test in-person, signing up quickly is recommended.

Do not stress about this test. The results are for your information only; it does not go to any governmental agency. It is to help you get an idea of how your student is doing in various academic subjects at their particular grade level. Most homeschool parents are pleasantly surprised at how well their students do on these tests. Students generally consider the test fun, they get a couple of days off of regular school, and the opportunity to see their friends.

So relax. Have your students eat a nice protein breakfast. If they are stressed over the test, you can tell them it isn't a test to see how good of a student they are, but a test to see if their teacher, you, needs to adjust curriculum.
