WISC-V Full Instructions
Introduction - Answer-We'll be doing a lot of things today like looking at pictures, answering questions,
and working with blocks. Some things may be easy for you and some may be hard. Try your best.
Block Design - Answer-See these blocks? They are all alike. Some sides are all red, some sides are all
white, some sides are half red and half white.
Examples: Watch me make my block look just like this. Now you make one look like this. Work as fast as
you can and tell me when you're done. Go ahead.
If incorrect: watch me again (use child's blocks). Now you try again and make one like this.
Items 10-13: now make one like this using all 9 blocks. Work as fast as you can and tell me when you're
done. Go ahead.
Similarities - Answer-I'm going to say 2 words and I want you to tell me how they're alike.
In what way are 3 and 4 alike?
That's right they are both numbers. Let's try some more.
, Incorrect: that's not quite right. 3 and 4 are both numbers. Let's try some more.
Only Q once per item.
Matrix Reasoning - Answer-Look at these pictures. Which one here goes here (point to box with ?)
That's right the red circle is the only answer that works across and down.
Incorrect: that's not quite right. The red circle is the only answer that works across and down.
Digit Span - Answer-I'm going to say some numbers. Listen carefully. I can only say them one time. When
I stop, you say them back to me in the same order. Just say what I say.
Backward: now I'm going to say some more numbers but this time when I stop, you say the numbers
backward. If I say 9-4 what would you say?
Incorrect: that's not quite right. I said 9-4. To say them backward you should say 4-9.
Sequence: (ask them to count to 5 if unsure of ability) Now I'm going to say some more numbers but this
time when I stop, you say the numbers in order starting with the smallest number. If I say 3-1 what
would you say?
Incorrect: that's not quite right. I said 3-1 to say them in order starting with the smallest number you
should say 1-3.
Coding 120sec or 2min (young than 8) - Answer-Look at these shapes. Each shape has its own special
mark. Down here the shapes are empty. I will show you how to draw the right mark in each shape.
