Free Stanford-Binet Practice Test

Measures novel problem-solving without relying on prior knowledge — the purest measure of intelligence. Includes verbal and nonverbal tasks: inductive reasoning (finding rules from patterns) and deductive reasoning (applying rules to problems).

Knowledge tests vocabulary and general information. Quantitative Reasoning measures mathematical problem-solving and numerical reasoning. Both sections have verbal and nonverbal formats, making the SB5 fair across language backgrounds.

Visual-Spatial tests ability to perceive spatial relationships and form/pattern recognition. Working Memory assesses how much information a child can hold and manipulate — a key predictor of academic performance.

The SB5 is administered individually by a psychologist — unlike group tests. Make sure your child is comfortable with adult-directed one-on-one activities.

An accurate FSIQ helps the psychologist understand your child and make good recommendations. Coaching artificially inflated scores undermines the test's diagnostic value.

Cognitive performance is measurably affected by sleep and nutrition. The day before testing matters. No late nights or skipped breakfasts.

The SB5 takes 45–75 minutes for most children. Let your child know ahead of time — knowing what to expect reduces anxiety and improves performance.

The FSIQ is just the headline. The subtest breakdown reveals where your child is strongest and weakest — far more useful for educational planning.
