Appointment Availability
Woodcock-Johnson (WJ) testing is offered year-round, allowing families the flexibility to test when it best fits their homeschool schedule.
Please Note: I do not test during the first week of January. I use that week to schedule individual & group testing.
Many families schedule their annual testing a year in advance. We encourage you to schedule early to secure your preferred appointment date.
Does it matter when you test?

Testing Day Reminders
- Bring a favorite pencil or pen.
- Parents may stay or leave. If you leave, we'll text you about 30 minutes before your score review. Please arrange with your test administrator if you would like to schedule more time for a deeper dive.
- Optional: Bring a drink, snack, books, or quiet activities. Headphones are welcome.
- If you need to cancel or reschedule, text your testing location asap. Most families book up to a year in advance. Repeated cancellations are subject to a $50 rescheduling fee.
Bring Previous WJ Scores
Previous scores determine where to begin testing, provide a more efficient & accurate assessment, & allow us to compare your student's progress over time.
Tip: Take a photo of the page with the raw scores & text it to your testing location before your appointment. Email a copy to yourself for a permanent backup.
Your Records Are Your Responsibility
ATC does NOT keep student test scores on file. As the chief administrator of your homeschool, you are responsible for maintaining your homeschool records. NC requires homeschool families to maintain:
- Attendance records
- Immunization records
- National standardized achievement test scores
These records may be requested by the NC Division of Non-Public Education (DNPE).
*Cumulative records ==> Records that are collected & maintained over time.
Protect Your Records
We recommend keeping a permanent (cumulative) homeschool record with:
- Attendance records
- Immunization records
- Standardized test scores
- Transcripts (if applicable)
- Other important educational records
*Recommendation: Make digital copies by photographing or scanning your records. Never discard standardized test scores—they may be needed for future school enrollment, college admissions, employment, or legal documentation.
Record-Keeping Requirements
Record-keeping requirements vary by state and country. It is the responsibility of the homeschool administrator to understand and maintain the records required where you homeschool.
Best Practices:
- File your WJ score report with your permanent homeschool records.
- Keep a digital backup of your score report.
- Update any records required by your state or country.
NC Families: We recommend logging into your NC Homeschool Portal after your annual testing appointment to review & update your homeschool information.
Not sure what your state requires? Our Homeschool Teacher Training Academy offers a homeschool law course that explains each state's requirements. The course is included with Academy membership & is also available for individual purchase in our Resource Shop.
Helpful Resources
The WJ, one of the nation's most widely respected standardized achievement tests, is not a pass/fail or grade-level test. Instead of assigning a "passing" score, it provides meaningful information about your student's strengths, learning needs, instructional levels, and academic growth—giving you practical insights you can use to make informed educational decisions.
Why Record Keeping Matters
When students transfer to another school, apply to college, or need educational documentation, the homeschool—not the State of North Carolina—is responsible for providing records. The state recognizes your homeschool but does not maintain transcripts, test scores, or graduation records. Those records remain the responsibility of the homeschool administrator.

ATC Comprehensive Learning Analysis
Understand How Your Child Learns—Not Just How They Score
The Woodcock-Johnson achievement assessment provides valuable information about your child's academic achievement. However, many parents leave testing wondering:
- What do these scores actually mean?
- Why does my child excel in some areas but struggle in others?
- What curriculum would be the best fit?
- What should I focus on this year?
- What should I do next?
The ATC Comprehensive Learning Analysis was created to answer those questions. This optional service goes beyond the standardized test scores by combining nationally norm-referenced achievement assessment results with parent interview information, educational observations, and over 25 years of experience working with homeschool families to create an individualized educational roadmap for your child.
More Than a Score Report
Every Comprehensive Learning Analysis is personally prepared by Angie Cutlip, M.Ed.
While this is not diagnostic, rather than simply explaining test scores, the report helps families understand:
- How your child learns
- Why certain learning patterns may be occurring
- How to build on strengths
- What curriculum may be the best fit
- Practical strategies you can begin using immediately
Because every child is unique, no two reports are exactly alike.
What Your Personalized Learning Analysis May Include
✔ Interpretation of your child's assessment results✔ Explanation of academic strengths✔ Areas for continued growth✔ Reading, writing, and mathematics analysis✔ Executive function observations (when appropriate)✔ Behavioral observations made throughout testing✔ Learning characteristics and instructional implications✔ Individualized curriculum recommendations✔ Teaching and instructional strategies✔ Homeschool planning ideas✔ Sample daily schedules or implementation plans (when appropriate)✔ Strength-based learning activities based on your child's interests (when appropriate)✔ Recommendations for additional educational evaluations when educational observations suggest they may be beneficial✔ Practical next steps for the upcoming school year
Every Report Is Personalized
No two children learn exactly alike. No two reports will be the same.
Some reports may focus heavily on:
- Curriculum placement
- Gifted instruction
- Reading development
- Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, Dyscalculia, etc.
- Mathematics Fluency
- Executive functioning
- Written expression
- Fine motor development
- Homeschool organization
- Learning differences.... to name a few
The recommendations are always based on your child's individual learning profile—not a one-size-fits-all template.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this required?
No. The Comprehensive Learning Analysis is an optional add-on to your child's Woodcock-Johnson achievement testing appointment.
Who prepares the report?
Every Comprehensive Learning Analysis is personally prepared by Angie Cutlip, M.Ed.
Can this be done if we do not test with ATC?
YES! You need to be willing to administer some placement assessments to your students at home & provide previous or other testing if available. It is recommending to have WJ testing but that is not a requirement.
How is this different from the standard score report?
The standard score report provides your child's assessment scores. The Comprehensive Learning Analysis explains what those scores mean educationally and combines them with parent interview information, educational observations, instructional recommendations, and individualized curriculum guidance.
Who can purchase this service?
The Comprehensive Learning Analysis is available for students who test directly with Angie, either in person or via Zoom. Families who test with another ATC Educational Services testing administrator or who already have other testing from other places may also be eligible to purchase a Comprehensive Learning Analysis. Please contact Angie for availability based upon your needs.

Purpose of the Analysis: This family requested a comprehensive longitudinal review of the student's Woodcock-Johnson assessment results from previous years.
