Resources
REQUIRED - The adult proctor who will be present with the student while testing MUST take the Iowa Complete Parent Course.
This course will take 10-20 minutes to complete. It consists of training material, one matching pair question, 28 multiple-choice questions, and three fill-in-the-blank questions.
It must be completed by Tuesday, May 6, at 11:59 pm Pacific Time.
The course only needs to be taken one time annually, even if you have more than one student who will be taking the Iowa Complete.
Important: Your family must complete the course before testing days AND provide in the course the same email as you provide in the Iowa Complete Registration Form. Failure to do so will result in your family not receiving the link to take the assessments on testing days.
Click your student's grade level below to complete the REQUIRED parent course. If you have multiple students in different grades, choose one course and include both names when asked for your students' names.
Recommended - Join the Spring Assessment Webinar Question and Answer Session on Thursday, May 1, at 9 am Pacific Time. A recording will be made available in the Iowa Complete group in the Enlightium Parents app after the event.

Mark your calendar. The Iowa Complete is scheduled for Wednesday, May 7, and Thursday, May 8, 2024.
