Standardized Testing for Everyone
Homeschool Testing Services (affiliated with CC) provides local testing opportunities. This is for any student - not just CC students. We have 3 testing centers in Thurston County this year - two with the Stanford-10 and one with the CTP4 (a new test you can read about on the website).
The three dates are May 10-11 (the CTP4), May 12-13 (Stanford), and May 23-24 (Stanford - this one is here at Westwood by our own Janice Uhlmeyer!!). Click HERE to choose your event from the calendar and register.
(OTE dates are Online Testing Events - TE is a onsite Testing Event)
