Stanford 10 Abbreviated
Online Nationally Standardized
Achievement Test

The Stanford 10 Abbreviated Online, developed by Pearson Education, is a nationally standardized achievement test designed for students in grades 3–12. It is a multiple-choice test that measures performance in core subjects like reading, mathematics, language arts, science, and social studies.

The test is administered online and is untimed, allowing your student to work at a steady, productive pace. It takes about three hours over multiple days to complete and provides norm-referenced scores so you can compare your student’s performance to other students around the nation.

After testing, you’ll receive a detailed score report highlighting your student’s strengths and areas for improvement.

What You Need to Know

The Stanford 10 Online offers two editions, both using 2018 spring norms.

The Complete Battery is a full-length multiple-choice version of the Stanford 10 that includes all subject areas with in-depth subtests. The test takes about five hours to complete, split over two days, with around 2.5 hours of testing per day.

The Abbreviated Battery is a shorter version of the test that meets end-of-grade (EOG) requirements in many states, including North Carolina. Like the Complete Battery, it is multiple choice but has fewer questions per subject while still assessing key academic skills. The test takes about three hours in total, split over two days, with around 1.5 hours of testing per day.

Choose the grade level based on the grade the student has most recently completed. If testing takes place during the last three months of the school year, select the student’s current grade level.

Scheduling for both editions is first-come, first-served, and a full business day is typically required to confirm a testing date. To ensure availability, it is recommended to place an order at least 1 week in advance. Both versions are untimed, but students must complete testing by 5 PM Eastern Time each day, so please plan ahead. Also, testing must be completed within the same month.

Once scheduled, an email confirmation will include the start time and testing instructions. The test is easily accessible via a simple link that works on most computers, including iPads and Chromebooks, or by downloading a secure browser. Although an adult must supervise the test, we administer it. Results are sent as a PDF typically within two days, with an option for 24-hour rush grading and a mailed hard copy.

For educators and parents who also need cognitive ability testing, the online OLSAT 8 Ability Test can be taken alongside the Stanford 10 (except grade 3). The OLSAT takes about 1 hour.

Educators and parents often purchase the OLSAT 8 with the Stanford 10 Achievement Test to get a more complete picture of a student’s academic potential.

• The OLSAT 8 measures reasoning and problem-solving skills, assessing a student’s ability to learn and think critically.
• The Stanford 10 evaluates what the student has already learned in subjects like reading, math, and language.

By comparing these results, they can determine if a student is performing at, above, or below their expected level based on cognitive ability. This insight is valuable for gifted program placement, identifying learning gaps, and tailoring instruction to better support the student’s needs.
