Free Homeschool Placement Tests
"What grade is my child actually in?" is the hardest homeschool question — especially in math versus reading. Our free placement tests answer it per subject: you start one from the Parent Portal, hand the device to your child, and an adaptive test using real curriculum questions recommends the best starting grade for each subject you chose. Optional, quick, and never a lock-in.
How Placement Testing Works
Parent-triggered, optional
You start a test from your Parent Portal whenever you like — placement is recommended but never required.
Real curriculum questions
Questions come straight from the actual quiz bank, so results reflect this curriculum — not generic test items.
Adapts up and down
Strong answers move the test up a grade; struggles move it down. Most subjects finish within about 4–16 questions.
Per-subject recommendations
Test just math, just reading, or all core subjects — each gets its own recommended starting grade.
Kid-friendly by design
Kids see cheerful questions and a "Great job!" at the end — never scores. Results go to the parent only.
Recommendation only
Results suggest a starting level. They never affect enrollment and never lock your student into a grade.
Simple Pricing for Every Plan
Per student. Every subject at the grade level is included with both options.
Please note: Curriculum is a separate purchase from AL Cover School cover school enrollment. Buying curriculum does not enroll your child, and enrolling does not include curriculum.
