Stanford 10 Testing
Accelerated Christian Education is pleased to use the Stanford Achievement Test Series,
Tenth Edition, and OLSAT Series, Eighth Edition. Your school’s newly enrolled
students, Grade Levels 1-12, should be tested with the Stanford 10 at the beginning of the
school year or upon entry to your school. This multiple-choice assessment will help
your school administration find out what students know and are able to do.
Administrators will obtain reliable data to evaluate each student’s progress
toward meeting content standards for each grade level. Supervisors will identify and
help children who have gaps in their learning experience. Parents will understand what
their child knows and can do, their child’s knowledge and abilities, and how they
as parents can help. The standardized test results can reveal strengths and weaknesses
in the child’s knowledge.
When a school tests a new student at the beginning of the year and then again at the
end of the school year, the school administration has the ability to show the growth
level achieved by the new student during his first year of attendance in his new
school. Testing for new enrollments must be conducted at the beginning of the school
year for accurate test results.
The Stanford 10 can only be administered during specific times. Fall testing is always
administered at the beginning of the school year (preferably the week prior to school
opening) and the tests must be returned to Harcourt for scoring by October 15. Spring
testing is always administered in late April or early May and the tests must be
returned to Harcourt for scoring by June 15.
The Stanford 10 is based on chronological grade and should be administered to students
based on their actual chronological grade level at the time of testing. Use
caution to ensure that the proper test is ordered and given to each student. Since
there is a year of education difference between fall and spring testing, different
tests are administered to the students in the beginning of the year compared to the end
of the year in Levels 1-8.
Below is a list of tests to be administered based on chronological grade for both fall
and spring testing.
