A hand-scored group test, the SRT is administered by a classroom teacher at the end of kindergarten or before the third full week of first grade. Each student will be evaluated by seven subtests, with an optional handwriting assessment, which total one hour and twenty minutes of testing time. It allows a teacher to learn as much as possible about every entering student’s abilities—and about any factors that might interfere with his or her learning.

SRT levels of readiness are related to national percentiles and stanines. SRT’s Class Record Sheet and the new Class Summary Report are used to record information about individual and group performance on each subtest and on the entire test. This information can be used for diagnostic assistance.

After the scores for the seven subtests are determined (the optional Handwriting Assessment is not included in the Total Readiness Score), they are added together to get a total score. The total score is then matched to one of the six levels of readiness.

SRT Spanish Edition STS is pleased to offer the new Spanish Edition of the School Readiness Test (SRT). This edition provides a User’s Manual with instructions to the student in Spanish to facilitate the placement of students not yet proficient in English.
