SHARE Education Services offers achievement and diagnostic testing throughout the year at conferences, in our offices by appointment and by special arrangement when we travel to your area. Our testing program is designed to evaluate native English-speaking students or multilingual students with very strong English skills. These tests are intended to be administered to U.S. and Canadian students and may not accurately evaluate students from other passport countries.
For U.S. and Canadian Students:
The following tests are appropriate for U.S. children or those who will be entering the U.S. university system.

Test of Basic Skills
(grades 3-12)
SHARE offers achievement testing using the Iowa Test of Basic Skills and the Woodcock Johnson III Tests of Achievement to assess whether your child is "on track" with his or her age mates. These tests offer assessment in the areas of reading, writing, and mathematics. The test is appropriate for those families who require or would like annual testing. In addition to conference venues throughout the year, this test is offered annually in our Budapest office in early May.

Diagnostic Educational Assessment (all grades)
If you have seen your child experience significant struggles in learning, attention, or other areas that affect his/her education, diagnostic testing is available. Please be aware that, due to the types of tests used, this testing is most appropriate for U.S students. Diagnostic testing is only available on an occasional basis and space is limited. Contact us for more information. If you will be in the U.S. and would like assistance in finding an educational psychologist who can do appropriate testing for your child, please contact us for referrals

Students from other English-speaking countries:
If you are from U.K., Australia, New Zealand, South Africa or other English-speaking countries, information regarding testing that is appropriate for your student is available by referral to country-specific educators.
Students with ESL (English as a Second Language) Skills:
The tests listed above may be useful for students who wish to generally assess their English skills in comparison to age-mates in the U.S. However, culturally-biased questions and the use of American English only may not produce a true assessment of a student's English skills.
