Standardized Tests and Homeschooling Q&A | Episode 253
Some states require state testing to happen every year for homeschooling families. Other states are much more flexible. Either way, the thought of standardized tests may cause you to break out in a sweat. It doesn’t need to be that way!
In this episode, Carole and Rachel address families’ concerns about standardized testing, especially in states where it is mandatory. They offer practical advice for preparing children without inducing anxiety. Plus, you’ll learn that reading to your children is a game-changer for doing well on those tests!
Carole encourages parents to approach test days positively and gives tips on preparing older children for the SAT and ACT.
We hope this gives you a good perspective on testing and how to approach them stress-free.

- Why you don’t need to worry about standardized tests
- Using the Peabody test for younger kids
- The best way to prepare for testing
- Keeping a positive attitude on test days
