Thomas plays baseball every Friday. The weather is often very hot and humid when he plays. Every week, one of the team parents brings ice cream cones at the end of the game. Last Friday, Thomas' coach wanted to talk to him for a few minutes. His popsicle was already in his hand when she called him over. Coach Maggie said that he needed to follow through more in his pitches and showed him how. She held the ball and touched her fingers to the stitches like she had taught him a few weeks before. Coach Maggie had been Thomas' brother's coach, too, and he was an excellent pitcher. "Make sure your arm follows this motion," she said, moving her arm down. "You can't just stop when you release the ball." Thomas thanked his coach and looked at the popsicle in his hand. "Oh, no," he thought. "Well, I suppose there's always next week."

Preparing for the Iowa Assessments and ITBS Tests in 2024
The ITBS and Iowa Assessments are standardized achievement tests for students in kindergarten through 8th and 12th grade, respectively. These tests are designed to measure academic growth and assess critical thinking skills. The Iowa Assessments is divided into a series of subtests. The topics of these subtests are dependent upon the test level, as each one measures a different skill.
The ITBS and Iowa Assessments' test levels are divided into four sections: Levels 5–6, Levels 7–8, Levels 9–14, and Levels 15–18. As the knowledge base and level of intelligence at each of these levels grows, so too do the number of subtests and topics. Preparation each year for the ITBS and Iowa Assessments is key. We currently offer practice tests and materials for the 3rd Grade (Level 9) Iowa Assessments and ITBS.
