Frequently Asked Question:

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

Answer:

There is a very large linking sample. A co-norm would imply that they were done at the same time, which they were not. WIAT-II preceeded WISC-IV by a few years. This linking sample permits anything done with a co-normed pair of ability and achievement tests.
