Administration Options
Make a Reliable Achievement/Ability Comparison
OLSAT® 8 can be administered with Stanford 10 to relate a student's actual achievement with his or her school ability. When these tests are given in combination, an Achievement/Ability Comparison (AAC) score is obtained. AACs describe a student's achievement in relation to the achievement of students with the same measured school ability. AAC scores give educators a better understanding of each student's potential for success in school.
