The answers are in the Practice Test Directions for Administrating booklet.

Stanford Practice Tests can be administered by anyone.

Directions for Administrating are read like a script, and students mark their answers in bubbles. Practice Tests are untimed but can be completed in 1 hour. For the most effective use, the practice test should be administered one to two days before the test date.

These tests are especially recommended for students testing for the first time.

Practice tests are available in kits or as individual student practice tests. Each practice test booklet for a particular level contains the same questions in each booklet. For more extensive practice test booklets with multiple practice tests, please see Spectrum Test Practice Reproducible.
