The single form of the Extended Battery can be used with any of the three forms. Scoring and Interpretation Four variation procedures help document an individual’s pattern of strengths and weaknesses: • Intra-cognitive based on Cognitive Tests 1—7 • Intra-achievement based on Achievement Tests 1—6 • Academic Skills, Academic Fluency, and Academic Application (based on 9 tests in reading, written language, mathematics) • Intra-oral language based on Oral Language Tests 1—4 Plus, users can take advantage of free* access to a robust, web-based scoring and reporting suite for easy evaluation of results. This new scoring and reporting suite offers secure, 24/7 access from any computer with an Internet connection, real-time updating of results, and the ability to run score and roster reports on demand. *Free access provided with purchase of paper record forms. Technical Information The WJ IV tests show strong reliabilities • Goal for clusters set at .90 or higher • Goal for tests set at .80 or higher WJ IV 3 Batteries Tests of Cognitive Abilities Tests of Oral Language Tests of Achievement WJ IV Tests of Cognitive Abilities Standard and Extended 18 tests (no Diagnostic Supplement) WJ IV Tests of Oral Language 1 test book 12 tests (9 English, 3 Spanish) WJ IV Tests of Achievement Standard and Extended 3 Forms of Standard (A, B, C) 1 Form of Extended (for use w/all 3 forms) Test Record include Std forms and Ext Qualitative checklists for Tests 1-11 The revision of the WJ IV represents a significant overall advancement in the measurement of individual abilities. The authors had multiple goals for the revision of the Woodcock Johnson, including: · Designing a comprehensive assessment system that was on the cutting edge of clinical practice. The entire assessment suite facilitates the exploring of strengths and weaknesses across cognitive, oral language, and academic abilities; it also complements RTI models. · Simplifying and reframing the procedures for evaluating the ability/achievement comparisons and intra ability variations for the examiner; · Pushing the tests beyond the original broad CHC theory that was the foundation for the WJ III to the most important broad and narrow CHC abilities that are needed for testing individuals today. The WJ IV system is structured to create comprehensive cognitive, achievement, and oral language batteries that can be used in conjunction with one another or as standalone batteries as represented in this diagram. New tests and clusters in WJ IV are engineered to provide the most diagnostically useful interpretations. Three parallel forms of the WJ IV Tests of Achievement Standard Battery support a broad range of assessment needs for a wide variety of professionals. The single form of the Extended Battery can be used with any of the three forms.
