Tests for Students Under Age 12
Four separate levels of testing have been developed for the Junior Class students.
(Note: Since students are on different levels of learning, some age groups will obviously overlap.)
- Beginner test (approximate student ages: 5-6)
- Intermediate test (approximate student ages: 6-8)
- Junior Elementary test (approximate student ages: 8-10)
- Advanced Elementary test (approximate student ages: 10-12)
Tests for Students Age 12 & Older
The Senior Class Students (over age 12) take high school diagnostic exams from the Academic Evaluation Center ™ (AEC). This diagnostic testing is based on levels consistent with the national GED and ACT.
The diagnostic tests cover 22 subjects, and because they are administered every 3 months, student progress can be monitored and adjusted accordingly throughout the school year.
After the tests have been corrected, parents keep the score sheets so they can compare and monitor their student’s progress.
Anyone may use the Kimber Academy testing. It is not limited to the Academies alone.
To order tests for your students, contact the AEC by clicking here.
The tests will be evaluated and analyzed at the AEC and sent back within a week.
Class Rules
- Please use a name on Zoom that we can identify you with, specifically the students’ names.
- An appropriate name would be “Nathan Smith” or “Nathan & Lisa”
- “SpiderMonkey88” does not let us and the other students know who you are
- Because your camera will be on for most of the meeting,
- Please wear Kimber Academy appropriate attire.
- Please stay in classroom appropriate locations in your home.
- Please refrain from distracting activities, such as eating or moving around during class.
- We will give you time to socialize and make friends, that is a very important part of education and growth! But during class time, please keep discussion (including chats) with other students relevant to the class subject.
- Similarly, please keep comments relevant to the class subject.

First Time Connection
You will need to create a free account at Zoom.us before you can join the class.
Connecting to Class
If you click on a class and Zoom says “The host has another meeting in progress.” you can either wait for the previous class to end, or join the previous class if it is available to you.
If no one connects to your class within 5 minutes, please first try to do a “hard refresh” on your browser. You can find instructions on how to do that here.
If that doesn’t work, reach out to the class instructor on the Instructors page. Texting will be easier for them to respond to than calls, in case they are working on a problem.

Video
If you cannot see us, you may have slow internet. You can do a speed test to see if you have enough speed. Typically you want to have at least 2-3 mbs upload and download speeds for a clear and steady picture, though more is always better.
If we cannot see you, you may need to plug in your webcam. If it is already plugged in, turn it on with the camera button in the bottom left of your screen. Move your mouse (desktop) or tap the screen (mobile) to view your Zoom meeting controls.
