This is entirely dependent upon the model of strat that you have. What model do you have?

Position 5: Neck
Position 4: Neck/Middle
Position 3: Middle
Position 2: Middle/Bridge
Position 1: Bridge

On my Highway 1 HSS, it's as cryingstrat said, except for Position 2 which is middle pickup and just one coil of the humbucker (the coil that makes position 2 also humbucking).
