WIAT-II

After a timed reading passage, is it alright if a student looks back at the passage to answer questions?

Are the WISC-IV and WIAT-II co-normed?

Are there classification descriptions for scaled scores?

Can I administer the PK-6 items instead to a very low functioning student who will not be able to write an essay?

Can I discontinue testing if the student fails an entire reading passage?

Can I provide a student a place marker for the Word Reading and Pseudoword Decoding subtests?

Can I reverse, using the reversal rule, more than once?

Can I still calculate supplemental quartile scores for Target Words and Reading Speed if reversal was used?

Can the student use a calculator on Math Reasoning?

Can we give credit for round objects that are questionable?

Do you calculate Target words if you reverse in Reading Comprehension?

Examinee has reversed to the appropriate item set but is unable to correctly answer any of the questions

Examinee in grade 1 eceived a raw score of 0 on the Pseudoword Decoding, but still received a standard score of 79.

Examinee who reversed has a higher standard score than someone who did not reverse and performed poorly.

For Numerical Operations, if the child gave the following answer (2.84) for item 20, is this correct?

For Spelling, what are the exceptions for letter reversal?

For the Word Fluency items, should I give the student credit for stating the sample items?

For Written Expression, what word in word fluency is given as a sample that can not be scored?

How can standard scores be generated for raw scores of 0 on the WIAT-II subtests? How does this affect the Composite score?

How do I know when the student is pronouncing the pseudowords properly?

How do we indicate errors that are not included in the scoring rubrics?

How many grades do you reverse back to if a child gets all zeros for all grade specific reversal items?

I received a really high standard score when a 4th grader reversed back to grade 1, what does this mean?

If a child misspells their name in the spelling subtest, item 1, do they receive credit?

If a child skips a letter in writing the alphabet, do the subsequent letters still receive credit?

If a student starts at the 9-12 grade start point and gets zeros on item 94-98, what grade do they reverse to?

If clinician is testing between June and July, what grade do you test the child on?

If it is clear that a student is not reading the passage, should I record the Reading Speed score?

Is it typical for a Kindergartner to write more than 6 letters in the time limit? What is typical?

Is the Ability Achievement Discrepancy for age base scoring or grade?

Is the Quartile score part of the Standard score?

The student wrote the paragraph/essay in all capital letters; how do I score that?

What are supplemental scores? Why are they in quartiles?

What are the Clinical Recommendations for Grade 3-4 reversing to grade 1?

What are the four answers options for item 16 in Math Reasoning?

What are the trimesters for WIAT-II?

What if you have a child who incorrectly spells a word and also uses incorrect punctuation?

What is Item Response Theory (IRT) and why was Reading Comprehension changed to use it?

What is the Discontinue Rule for Math Reasoning?

What is the time limit for writing the Alphabet in Written Expression?

What kind of score will I get in Written Expression for Alphabet Writing?

What should I do if a 4th grade student does not pass the reversal items in the Grade 4 item set?

What type of score do you get for Target Words when you convert the raw score?

When scoring the spelling subtest do letter reversals indicate an incorrect response?

When should I use Age or Grade Based scoring?

Where are the tables for WISC-IV, WIAT-II predicated Ability Achievement Discrepancy?

Which subtest is a good indicator of a basic reading deficiency?

Why are the point differences between predicted achievement and actual achievement that are needed for statistical significance so much smaller with the WIAT–II as compared to the original WIAT?

Why aren't the reading passages printed on the examiner's manual or in the protocol?

Why do the scaled scores I calculate for Written Expression seem inflated for Pre-K through 2nd grade students?

Why does the Target Word quartile jump from 2 to 4 with just a 1-point difference in raw score?

Why is the maximum score included for all ages when it is unlikely that some students (particularly the younger ones) could receive raw scores that high?

Why is there no space for raw scores on the summary page?

Why should I start at the Grade 5 item set when I know the examinee can't read at a 5th grade level?

Why were item sets used instead of using basal and discontinue rules?
