COST
Behavior Data Systems, Ltd. (BDS) standard test unit fee is $9.95 per test. Volume testing discounts are awarded to departments, agencies and groups that administer 500 or more tests a year. This volume discounted test unit fee is $9.00 per test. Statewide testing contracts are assigned a discounted fee of $7.00 per test. Volume discounts established with BDS also apply to our Internet testing program www.online-testing.com.
Test discounts are also available to members of professional associations that cross-link their website with BDS' website. Many professional associations do not endorse tests, and that's OK. Cross-linking our websites simply acknowledges that the professional association is aware of BDS tests. When cross-linked, professional association members are then eligible for a an $8.00 per test unit fee. This discounted $8.00 fee represents a substantial discount.
