Homeschool Parents Love Using Our Tests!
This is a total win for PEP scholarship recipients! JoAn makes fulfilling scholarship testing requirements a breeze. The Exact Path test had simple instructions, was in-home, non-timed, and best of all the results were immediate without the hassle of mailing in test booklets like other state test options we have done in the past. It took about 45-60 minutes for my children (3rd and 6th grade) to complete each section of the Exact Path test, and they were able to take breaks when they needed by pausing the test. They also were able to test over two different days, making it a non stressful experience. JoAn processed my order quickly and was incredibly responsive when I had a question about submitting test results. We will be using this testing option again!

PEP Scholarship Year-End Assessment Test
Exact Path Diagnostic Test
*Actual amount of questions and testing time will vary for each student. It is recommended to stop/save to take breaks every 15-20 minutes.
How It Works
This test is an untimed, computer-adaptive diagnostic test designed to assess your child’s academic abilities. Unlike traditional exams, it doesn’t have a simple pass or fail outcome. Instead, it uses a sophisticated algorithm to adjust the difficulty of each question based on your child's answers, creating a personalized assessment experience. When a question is answered correctly, the next one becomes more challenging. If answered incorrectly, the difficulty level decreases. This adaptive process continues throughout the test to provide a clear picture of your child’s strengths and areas for growth, based on grade-level state and national standards.
It’s completely normal for your child to answer roughly half of the questions correctly and half incorrectly. Please reassure them that this is part of the process and encourage them to stay calm, as the test is designed to challenge their knowledge. Understanding how the test works will help them stay focused and not get discouraged by difficult questions.
After completing the test, you’ll receive valuable data that provides a detailed overview of your child’s academic performance. This information will highlight areas where they excel and identify what they still need to learn, offering a roadmap for future academic growth—both at their current grade level and beyond.
To help your child stay focused, we recommend they take short breaks every 15–20 minutes by saving their progress, or as needed.

It's recommended that your child take this test
3 times during the school year.
01
Beginning
Provide an opportunity for your child to get "practice" if they are new to the testing experience, establish a baseline, and identify key needs and goals for the year.
02
Middle
Conduct a progress check
mid-year to assess current performance and make any necessary adjustments.
(Students using the add-on Learning Path, will have updated lessons after each test.)
03
End
Administer a final test at the end of the school year to measure year-long growth, using evidence-based methods. The test results from this test should be used for your child's PEP scholarship testing requirement.
When should my child take this test?
We recommend having your child take this test 3 times throughout the school year—at the beginning, middle, and end. This will allow you to track their growth and progress, ensuring they stay on track and meet their academic goals for the year.
🕒 Flexible Timing
Your child does not need to finish the test in one sitting. Take breaks every 15–20 minutes and spread it over several days if needed—just click “Stop/Save” before each break.
Be sure to complete the test within your assigned testing window to avoid a $25 reset fee per subject.
For example: If you purchase a test to be taken in September, it must be completed by October 31. If you know you won’t be able to finish within that window, select the next testing window instead—such as November—since your deadline would then be February 28.
Testing Windows for the 2025-26 School Year:
Fall: August 5 – October 31
Winter: November 8 – February 28
Spring/End of Year 1: March 3 – April 30
