Already have inventory?
If you have existing inventory and/or plan to reuse materials for 2 or more years, use the Purchase option for the best pricing. Once you have your own materials, next year you will need only minimal materials (such as answer documents or consumable booklets) and scoring—reducing your cost per student.
High student/teacher ratio?
The higher your student/teacher ratio, the more you will save with the Purchase option.
Small class size?
Simplify by grouping several grades and using the Service Package option. Rather than accumulating inventory that may not match your future needs, you will be able to order exactly the right number each year.
It is critical that the publisher’s guidelines for administering the tests be followed precisely. Please review the tester qualifications for Purchase or Service Package.
