Stanford+Achievement+Test

During the 2009-2010 school year, the Stanford Achievement Test, 10th Edition (Stanford 10) was given to students in Grades 2-9 and 11. The students were also given the Otis-Lennon School Ability Test (OLSAT), 8th Edition.

Terms and facts to help interpret scores:
 * The **Basic Battery** score is calculated from scores received in Reading, Language, and Mathematics. The **Complete Battery** would include the Basic Battery tests as other areas tested such as Science, Social Studies, etc.
 * **Listening Skills** assess both listening vocabulary and listening comprehension. In the listening vocabulary section, students demonstrate recognition of the common meanings of spoken words and the listening comprehension section assesses listening comprehension with dictated materials students hear in school and outside the classroom.
 * The **Thinking Skills** score is based on a compilation of designated items from certain tests/subtests. These items measure a student's ability to analyze and synthesize information to evaluate it in order to determine cause and effect, fact or opinion, and relevant versus irrelevant. The students are to draw conclusions, make predictions, and hypothesize.
 * The **OLSAT** is a measure of the ability to cope with school learning tasks, to suggest their possible placement for school learning functions, and to evaluate their achievement in relation to the talents they bring to school learning situations.
 * The OLSAT is divided into **verbal and nonverbal** questions. The classification of test items as verbal or nonverbal hinges upon whether knowledge of language is requisite to answering the items.
