What is the name of the testing service that the Archdiocese of Baltimore elementary schools use?
The Archdiocese of Baltimore uses Pearson Assessment’s Stanford 10 Achievement Test. The Pearson Assessment website has a helpful presentation on understanding the components of the Stanford 10 test: http://pearsonassess.com/HAIWEB/Cultures/en-us/Productdetail.htm?Pid=SAT10C. Below is an example of one website that provides an explanation of the test in succinct language: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_Achievement_Test_Series. In addition to the Stanford 10, students at the elementary level take the Otis-Lennon School Ability Test. The OLSAT is a test of abstract thinking and reasoning ability of children pre-K to 18.
