Orders must be placed within the order dates and at least 30 days prior to administering the tests. Determine the number of students who will be taking the assessments so you can order the appropriate number of licenses. Each student taking the Iowa Assessments will need his own license. Keep in mind that the Iowa Complete is available online only for students in Levels 4–12. The CogAT is available online for students in Levels 5 and 8.

You are now ready to place your order.

1. Begin the ordering process here.
2. After the order is placed, Customer Service will email you the following:

   • Test Security Affidavit
   • Student Roster Spreadsheet
   • Inventory Agreement
   • Link to training videos (It is very important to watch this step-by-step guide to implementing online testing.)

3. All documents must be submitted to A.C.E. before the assessment can be administered.

   • If you plan to test between March 15 and April 4, your documents and Roster must be submitted by March 10.
   • If you plan to test between April 5 and April 25, your documents and Roster must be submitted by March 29.
   • If you plan to test between April 26 and May 15, your documents and Roster must be submitted by April 13.

4. Please do not wait to submit your Student Roster. Any minor changes, such as adding or deleting a student, can be made by contacting IowaInfo@aceschooloftomorrow.com after your master Student Roster is submitted. Your master Student Roster, containing the bulk of your students, must be submitted by one of the deadlines above.
5. On the testing dates, the Test Administrator logs into DataManager using the school email and administers the test.

Any changes that need to be made to the Student Roster must be emailed to IowaInfo@aceschooloftomorrow.com at this point.
