How 'bout that "may undergo psychological exam" crap?Some may, mine wont. Besides it may prove too embarassing for the state when one of the children proves to have a better grasp of real life than the psychologist. LOL

Home-schooled students may also undergo a psychological evaluation to measure their progress.

They are in all probability saying that parents may choose to have their children's progress measured with the Woodcock-Johnson achievement tests, which are administered by a trained psychiatrist/psychologist. At least once, while they are young, it is a good idea to also do an IQ test.

Personally, I believe these tests measure the kids progress better than any SAT's or OLSAT's. The problem is the cost: about $160 for the Woodcock-Johnson and another $160 if they need IQ testing.
