Abstract	In 1983, four screening tests for assigning students to the appropriate levels of the Stanford Achievement Test, Seventh Edition, were developed with a national sample of hearing impaired students. While students are normally assigned to one of six test level booklets according to grade, this is inappropriate for certain students. This paper describes: (1) the development of the screening tests; (2) the pilot testing and results; (3) the scoring system; and (4) the validity study of the screening tests using a norming sample of 8,331 hearing impaired students. Separate lower and upper level reading and mathematics tests, each containing approximately 30 items were constructed. The Sixth Edition of the Stanford was used as the criterion measure for assessing the discrimination power of the screening tests. The screening tests have elaborate scoring procedures, but result in excellent student placement into the appropriate levels of the Stanford Achievement Test, Seventh Edition. Response pattern analysis and individual item performance lead teachers to more in-depth consideration of test results. (BS)
