A clearer starting point
Example placement diagnostic report
Report-only
One learner, different starting points. Use mastery percentages and grade comparisons to decide what to review and what to move forward.
| Mathematics | Ready to start · Grade 8 comparison | 86% mastery |
| Reading | Review first · Grade 6 comparison | 62% mastery |
| History | Try a higher comparison · Grade 9 comparison | 94% mastery |
Planning guidance, not a permanent label.
Is my child on grade level?
“Behind” is not a complete plan. A child can be ready for advanced math, need reading review, and still be exactly where they need to be in history. Start with the evidence you can use this week.
See where your kid actually is, without having to guess.
Find the gap behind the stall
See whether a missed result points to a prerequisite to review, a narrow content gap, or a subject ready for a different pace.
Find a starting point for each subject
Compare math, reading, science, history, and other subjects separately instead of forcing one grade label across the whole learner.
Choose the next course with confidence
Use a report to choose a homeschool curriculum starting level before buying a full year of work that may be too easy or too hard.
How the homeschool assessment works
Three steps to a starting point you can explain.
Choose a comparison

What does our homeschool diagnostic test tell you?
The report turns a grade comparison into a clear starting point for the next lesson plan.
- Readiness evidence from the skills sampled in this diagnostic
- Which skills they have completed and which prerequisites they missed along the way
- Where to slow down, continue, or move ahead
- How to adapt and build the exact curriculum your learner needs to fill those gaps
Build from what your learner actually knows.
A percentage is only the beginning. The report shows what your learner has done, what they missed along the way, and which gaps need attention. From there, we can adapt and build the exact curriculum your learner needs to fill those gaps.
The results are planning guidance, not a diagnosis. If concerns include reading development, attention, mood, health, or anxiety, bring them to a qualified educator or health professional too.
It is also not an official state, MAP Growth, AP, or third-party assessment.
Homeschool placement test questions
How do I know if my child is falling behind?
A subject-by-subject homeschool placement diagnostic can show which grade comparison is a useful starting point, which skills look ready, and which prerequisites deserve review. It is planning evidence, not a clinical evaluation or an official school test.
What is a homeschool placement test?
A homeschool placement test is an assessment used to choose a reasonable starting level for instruction. TheHomeschoolingCompany diagnostic compares a learner with a selected grade level and returns a report-only readiness finding by subject.
Is the homeschool placement diagnostic free?
Yes. The diagnostic is free to start and does not require an account. Enter an email when the report is ready, then optionally create an account to save it to your future learning path.
Can my child be at different grade levels in different subjects?
Yes. Learners often have different starting points in math, reading, science, history, and other subjects. A subject-by-subject result is more useful than forcing one grade label across every course.
Is this an official MAP Growth, AP, or state test?
No. TheHomeschoolingCompany diagnostic is an internal homeschool planning tool. It is not an official MAP Growth, AP, state, or third-party test administration.
