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:
• 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.
Behavior Data Systems, Ltd. (BDS) only charges the one test unit fee. Everything
else is included in that test unit fee. All BDS tests are available in English
and Spanish. BDS tests can be administered in paper-pencil format, on the
computer screen and in computer-generated human voice audio.
BDS 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.
