The Stanford 10 is a nationally recognized norm based test which compares the academic achievements of students across the United States.  The scores in the table below indicate the grade equivalent of the combined scores for each grade level.  A grade equivalent is a score that represents the average performance of students tested in a given month of the school year.  Each score refers to the grade for which the score is typical.  The numeral to the left of the decimal point refers to the grade for which the score is typical, and the numeral to the right of the decimal point represents one tenth of the school year, or one school month.  For example, a score of 4.7 would refer to an average student in the fourth grade in the seventh month of school.
