Standardized testing absolutely is not necessary. I know many homeschoolers who have never taken a standardized exam. That you find it necessary is may be due to your own culturalization of having been institutionalized for your own schooling. One of the things that most homeschooling parents need to learn is to let go of their own institutional schooling experiences, habits, and expectations.
My children never took a standardized test. The **first** standardized test that my two younger children took was the GRE for entrance to graduate school. They finished B.S. degrees in mathematics at the age of 18, and needed the GRE to gain admission to graduate school.
The oldest will soon take his first standardized test when he finishes his MBA ( accounting) and sits for the CPA exam. ( Certified Public Accountant).
