WISC V
Block design - Answer-measures nonverbal reasoning and visual-spatial organization
Similarities - Answer-measures verbal concept formation
Matrix reasoning - Answer-measures visual-perceptual analogic reasoning ability without a speed
component
Digit span - Answer-measure auditory short-term memory and auditory sequential processing
Coding - Answer-measures the ability to learn an unfamiliar task involving speed of mental operation
and graphometer speed
Vocabulary - Answer-measures knowledge of words
Figure weights - Answer-measures the visual-perceptual quantitative reasoning
Visual puzzles - Answer-measures spatial visual-perceptual reasoning.
Picture span - Answer-measures short-term memory
, Symbol search - Answer-measures processing speed
Subtests that use a timer: - Answer-block design, coding, figure weights, visual puzzles, symbol search
If an examinee appears to be done, but does not say so, you must ask: - Answer-"Are you done?" before
stopping the timer
Do not query unless - Answer-a (Q) appears next to the same or similar response in the manual
If an examinee spontaneously produces an incorrect or zero point response that does not appear in
answer booklet - Answer-do not query
If an examinee says, "I don't know" appropriate responses would be - Answer-"Give it your best try, Well
what do you think though?" or "Give it your best thought."
Good query phrases include - Answer-"Tell me more about it"
"Explain what you mean"
No reverse rule for: - Answer-digit span, coding, and symbol search
Reversal rule - Answer-imperfect score on either of the first two items given, administer preceding items
in reverse order until 2 consecutive prefect scores are obtained
basal level of functioning - Answer-is established upon 2 consecutive perfect scores in the subtest,
regardless of starting point with the exception of digit span, coding and symbol search.
