Simple. Flexible. Parent-Friendly.
Why choose a non-test review instead of having your child take a standardized test?
A non-test assessment is a Washington State–approved alternative to standardized testing. Instead of your child taking a test, I review the learning they’ve already done throughout the year—such as work samples, activities, or a simple summary—and confirm that they are making progress.
It reduces stress and test anxiety
Some students don’t perform their best in a timed, test-based environment. A non-test (guided form) allows them to demonstrate what they truly know without pressure, creating a more relaxed and positive assessment experience.
It reflects real learning over time
Instead of a single test on one day, a non-test (guided form) shows growth and progress across the entire school year. It captures the depth and breadth of your child's educational journey, showcasing their development consistently.
It supports different learning styles and abilities
Children learn in many ways—through hands-on activities, creative projects, discussions, and real-life experiences. A non-test (guided form) honors those differences, providing a comprehensive view of their understanding and skills.
It’s flexible and personalized
Families can include a variety of work that fits their homeschool style, curriculum, and goals. This flexibility ensures the assessment truly reflects your family's unique homeschooling approach and your child's strengths.

The information below will guide you through what to prepare, address your concerns, and explain my secure submission process.
Preparing for a seamless submission
Having a few key items ready before you begin your non-test (guided form) submission will be helpful:
- Learning overview: Be ready to share a general idea of your child’s progress, strengths, and any areas of growth.
- Subject coverage: Share a brief overview of main resources used and concepts covered from core subjects such as reading, writing, math, science, and social studies.
- Samples of work: Select work that reflects your child’s learning throughout the year. This can include a mix of assignments, writing samples, math work, projects, photos of activities, or even online learning results.
- Digital files or photos: Have your files organized and ready to upload. Clear photos or PDFs work great.
Addressing common concerns
I understand you might have questions or concerns. Here are some of the most common ones I hear from parents:
- Privacy and security: All submissions are kept confidential and are only reviewed for evaluation purposes. Your child’s information is never shared.
- "Am I doing this right?": There is no “perfect” form—just an honest reflection of your child’s learning.
- What if I do not have enough?: You do not need a large volume of work. A few meaningful samples that show progress and effort are more than enough.
