The Stanford 10 Abbreviated Battery and/or Otis-Lennon School Ability Test 8 (OLSAT 8)
are administered to all students referred for gifted screening. Each fall any 6th and 9th
graders needing one or both tests in the school division are administered them.
Students to be tested:
DO NOT CODE DEMOGRAPHICS FOR STUDENTS NOT TESTED! If students are absent
you are wasting a booklet and/or answer sheet that could have been reused. Gifted
Resource teachers have also referred students for gifted education screening and should
coordinate testing with these students. If a student takes the Stanford test and does not
score where he/she would like they must wait one year to test again so they do not repeat
the same form of the test.
Responsibilities for the Fall Achievement Test Administration:
School Test Coordinators – The STC serves as the point of contact between the school and
the DDOT and is responsible for overseeing the training, administration, and security of the
testing program in their school. For gifted screening, the gifted resource teacher may act as
the STC or he/she may work with the STC in order to coordinate testing. The STC is
responsible for ensuring that all required procedures are implemented within the school.
READ ALL MATERIALS and MANUALS CAREFULLY.
All Stanford tests are Form A not D. SESAT 1 and SESAT 2 are Complete Battery tests.
All other levels are Abbreviated Battery.
Examiners – The Examiners are responsible for administering the Stanford 10 and OLSAT 8
tests according to the procedures contained in the Examiner’s Manual and for ensuring the
security of test materials in their possession. READ MANUALS BEFORE TEST DATES.
Proctors – Proctors are responsible for assisting the Examiners and are expected to comply
with all security requirements.
Establish the Testing Environment:
The STC is responsible for establishing a tone and environment that is conducive to student
success in this testing administration. Each school administering tests should send
home parent notifications of testing, and should establish clear expectations for
Examiners regarding the creation of healthy testing environments in the testing
sites.
Test Security:
Each school must ensure the security and accountability of all test materials from the time
of receipt until all testing is completed. The primary responsibility for test security lies
with the DDOT and the STCs. However, Examiners are responsible for all security issues
while secure documents are in their possession.

Stanford 10 is an untimed test. Times are included in the Directions for
Administering booklets for planning purposes only. Stanford 10 is to be administered
so that all students have sufficient time to complete it. The suggested time allotment should
be adequate for many students. Allow any student to have as much time as he or she needs
to complete the test while working productively.

It is recommended that you plan for testing at least three days for testing and most likely
four days for elementary schools. For example, Stanford 10 testing in Reading, Vocabulary
& Comprehension and Language can be done in one day. Day 2 would be Stanford 10 Math
and Science subtests. For gifted screening, OLSAT 8 testing should be done on a separate or
third day of testing. Schools will have the flexibility to schedule these subtests. Under no
circumstance, should all tests be given in one day. Please try to limit testing during any day
to three hours or less. Sessions should have breaks appropriate for your students, and
should be standardized within schools.

Carefully read the general directions for administering this test. Remember, you will read
all specific directions that apply to the Levels A, B, and C machine-scorable editions. Parts
one and two of these tests are timed and times MAY NOT be extended. Part three is
teacher paced, so timing is somewhat flexible. Levels D, E, F, and G are completely timed
tests and time MAY NOT be extended. There are no teacher paced parts on these tests. You
will need a digital clock or watch with a second hand for all OLSAT 8 tests.

every effort is made to test students on all required subtests.
Duties of STCs after testing is completed:
Request that Examiners check every answer document for correctness and scorability.
Examiners must provide an accurate count of test booklets to the STC.
