Stanford Achievement Test Series, Tenth Edition (Stanford 10, SAT10)
Stanford 10 practice tests
The Stanford Achievement Test, Tenth Edition (Stanford 10, often written SAT10) is a nationally normed achievement test given by schools, and ordered each spring by many homeschool families to meet their state's testing rules. Its Full Battery tests reading, mathematics, language, spelling and listening, with science and social science.
Our Stanford 10-style practice tests follow Pearson's published Full Battery lengths and planning times for Grades 3 to 8 in Reading Vocabulary, Reading Comprehension, Mathematics Problem Solving, Mathematics Procedures and Language. Each test is new when your child starts it, and the score shows straight away.

Try each answer in place of the bold word, and keep the one that fits the clues.
Final answer

Read the whole sentence and find the clue: a word that means the same, an example, an opposite after but, or a cause and its effect.

- A1/2
- B1/4

Who or what the verb is about.
