How this list was compiled: Outline: Stanford Achievement Test Series, Tenth Edition, Scope & Sequence chart (Pearson), https://www.pearsonassessments.com/content/dam/school/global/clinical/us/assets/sat10/sat10-scope-sequence.pdf, linked from the publisher's product page, https://www.pearsonassessments.com/en-us/Store/Professional-Assessments/Academic-Learning/Stanford-Achievement-Test-Series-%7C-Tenth-Edition/p/100000415, both read 2026-10-13. The publisher's product page says the Science subtest covers the life, physical and earth sciences and the nature of science, and that the Social Science subtest measures concepts important for citizenship.

How it works
Unofficial Stanford 10 (SAT 10) practice for 5th grade: 64 questions of this site's own on eight of the nine subtests Pearson lists at Intermediate 2, with a full grammar set. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Pearson, which publishes the test.
Read the full guide
Intermediate 2, and what drops out
Pearson's chart gives Intermediate 2 to grades 5.5 through 6.5, the later months of fifth grade. Word Study Skills ends one level earlier, so reading here is vocabulary and comprehension only. A fifth grader tested before midyear takes Intermediate 1: the Stanford Achievement Test practice page is written to that level.
Grammar for the Language subtest
The Language set works through fifth grade grammar: conjunctions, prepositions and interjections, the perfect tenses, shifts in tense, either and or, commas and titles. Each question names its Common Core standard. Spellings were read in Wiktionary, and each mathematics answer is worked out a second time.
Questions and answers
What is on the 5th grade Stanford Achievement Test?
Nine subtests at Intermediate 2: Reading Vocabulary, Reading Comprehension, Mathematics Problem Solving, Mathematics Procedures, Language, Spelling, Listening, Science and Social Science. Listening is the one this page leaves out.
How many questions are on the SAT 10 in grade 5?
Pearson's chart lists 372 multiple-choice questions for the Intermediate 2 complete battery and plans 5 hours 10 minutes for them. The Basic Battery, without Science and Social Science, has 292.
Is there grammar on the Stanford Achievement Test in grade 5?
Yes. The Language subtest has 48 questions at this level, more than Reading Vocabulary or Spelling. The Language set on this page practices fifth grade grammar, usage and punctuation.
Is the SAT 10 for 5th grade timed?
No. Pearson describes the Stanford 10 as untimed, and its chart calls the listed times guidelines to help teachers plan. At this level a subtest is planned for 20 to 50 minutes.
