Some testing companies employ à la carte billing, which can
be deceptive and expensive when all these test-related costs are added up. Here,
we are referring to the following items and services being separately billed:
• Test applications
Test upgrades
Volume discounts
Test booklets
Database research
Scanner scoring
Training manuals
Support services
Annual summary reports
Staff training
Test standardization
Local standardization
And, that’s not counting offering three test administration
modes, consultation, report individualization, training tutorials and more. Risk
& Needs Assessment, Inc. (Risk & Needs) only charges the one test unit fee.
Everything else is included in that test unit fee. All Risk & Needs tests are
available in English and Spanish. Risk & Needs tests can be administered in
paper-pencil format, on the computer screen and in computer-generated human
voice audio.
Risk & Needs tests costs are explained on this webpage.
Note there is only the one fee or cost and that's the "test unit fee."
Everything else, like the booklets, manuals, diskettes, research, instructions,
technical support is included at no extra cost. These tests are
competitively priced and affordable.
