Recommendations for admissions tests

We are researching new tests to use for admissions. We test students
entering grades 3-12. Our requirements are:

1. We must be able to administer the test at will.
2. We would like to be able to score it in house by hand, but we are willing
to look at online tests with fast scoring feedback.
3. The test must measure ability in reading comprehension and mathematical
reasoning.
4. The test should take no more than 3 hours to complete.

If you are using a test that meets these criteria and it is serving your
needs well, please reply and give me any details that you feel might be
useful in our decision making process.

Thanks,
