TESTIMONIALS
The qualifications of the administrator were a factor in deciding to test with S.M.A.R.T. Additionally, I wanted unbiased testing with accurate results so that we know where to start in our homeschool journey. I feel that this is helpful and the results are exactly the information that is needed for me to prepare his lessons. Autum was wonderful in communicating. She also confirmed our date and time to ensure we were able to be present. She was thorough and was very good with my special needs kiddo. Autumn ensured that I understood the results and content. We will definitely be using this service again and hope to test with Autumn Cline in the future.

We chose to have S.M.A.R.T. administer our testing this year so I could ensure that my homeschool planning was accurate and on course for what my children need. It was a great decision. I’m so happy to have met Autumn and have her evaluate both of my children. She was thorough, timely, friendly, compassionate, and professional. Autumn thoroughly explained the results and gave me a clear understanding of the testing process. We will definitely be coming back.

I wanted an in-person homeschool test that is reputable. We used Stanford-10 before, and I was not all that impressed. Autumn was delightful. She is incredibly warm and supremely competent. My child enjoyed the test, and I had a long debriefing with her afterward. She explained everything perfectly. I could not ask for more. Autumn is fantastic!

We knew we wanted to have our kids take the Woodcock-Johnson test, and once we exchanged emails with Autumn Cline, her friendliness made the decision quite easy. We loved having a thorough look into where our kids were in terms of their learning, and the test gave me confidence as a homeschool mom that what we are doing is working. She was very responsive and went into great detail about the test and what it would look like. She answered all my questions and eased a lot of my uncertainty about if this type of test would be good for my kids. From her very first introduction, Autumn put us all at ease. She was full of smiles and led us to the testing room. She gave me a brief rundown of how the testing was structured and gave me some options of what to do while my kids were testing. She was patient, friendly, and knowledgeable, and both my kids felt comfortable with her and enjoyed the entire experience. Her positivity, encouragement, and knowledge made understanding the reports quite easy. She was happy to answer any questions I had, and I never felt rushed. She was fully present and engaged the entire consultation. Her follow-up email with all the reports attached also explained in great detail how to read and understand the information, along with an invitation to reach out if we had any questions. She was an answer to prayer for my two kids, who become anxious during any kind of test!
