Which ITBS level is my child's grade?
The ITBS is given by level, not by grade name, so it isn't always obvious which one your fifth grader — or first grader — will sit. Pick a grade below to find the matching level and go straight to practice.
Schools sometimes test a level above or below grade for a group. Confirm your child's exact level with their teacher.

Frequently asked questions
Which ITBS level is for 5th grade?
Level 11 is the ITBS battery that aligns to Grade 5. Schools occasionally test a level above or below grade for a group, so confirm your child's exact level with their teacher.
How do ITBS levels map to grades?
The ITBS is given by level, roughly one level per grade. Level 5 aligns to Kindergarten, Level 7 to Grade 1, Level 9 to Grade 3, Level 11 to Grade 5, Level 13 to Grade 7, and Level 15 to Grade 9.
Why don't ITBS level numbers match the grade number?
ITBS level numbers roughly track a student's age rather than the grade name, which is why Level 11 corresponds to Grade 5 rather than Grade 11. Always map by grade, not by the level number.
What if my child's grade isn't listed?
The levels shown are the ones KirklandPrep currently covers. The ITBS steps roughly one level per grade, so pick the closest grade and confirm the exact level with your child's school.
