The Stanford Achievement Test Series, Tenth Edition (SAT10), offered by Pearson, is a nationally normed multiple-choice achievement test used with confidence by administrators and teachers for more than 80 years.

SAT10 helps educators obtain reliable data to evaluate progress toward meeting state and national content standards. It also allows educators to make achievement and ability comparisons when administered with the Otis-Lennon School Ability Test, Eighth Edition (OLSAT 8), which the Assessment Resource Center also sells and scores.
