Stanford Achievement Test-10 (SAT-10)

Used by the Department of Education, the Stanford Achievement Test (SAT-10 not the SAT college admittance test) permits educators to gauge students’ progress in education.  This instrument focuses on making sure students meet requirements by national or state standards.  The instrument was primarily developed to help identify and help children at risk of being left behind.  Students in Kindergarten through Grade 12 are accepted to take the test.  For each grade there is a specific test which is separated into a Reading, Language, and Math section with multiple choice questions, short answer, and extended response.
