The Stanford 10 is a norm-referenced standardized test. This means that your child's scores provide a comparison of his or her performance to that of thousands of other children in the same grade who took Stanford 10 at the same time of year. The results help show what your child has learned and what your child has not yet mastered. It is important to understand that no one "passes" or "fails" the Stanford 10.

The Stanford 10 includes many of the subjects that your child is taught in school. You will notice that several answer choices are given for each question. The student is supposed to select and mark the best answer.

It would be a good idea for you to share these sample questions with your child so that he or she knows what to expect. The teacher will be reviewing other sample questions before the Stanford 10 is given in order to make sure your child knows what to do.

The Stanford 10 can give only certain kinds of information about how your child is doing in school. To get a more complete picture, you also need to know how your child does with daily class work, other tests the teacher gives, homework and other activities.
