Test Comparison Checklist

Some testing companies employ à la carte billing, which can be deceptive and expensive when all their test-related costs are added up. Here, we are referring to the following items and services being separately billed:

þTest applicationsþTest upgradesþVolume discounts
þTest bookletsþDatabase researchþScanner scoring
þTraining manualsþSupport servicesþAnnual summary reports
þStaff trainingþTest standardizationþLocal standardization

And, that's not counting offering three test administration modes, consultation, report individualization, training tutorials and more. Behavior Data Systems, Ltd. (BDS) only charges the one test unit fee. Everything else is included in that test unit fee. All Behavior Data Systems tests are available in English and Spanish. Behavior Data Systems tests can be administered in paper-pencil format, on the computer screen and in computer-generated human voice audio.
