V subtests, child must be able to hear, see, pay attention, understand directions and retain directions while solving problems - some subtests require motor skills = function involving precise movement of muscles to perform a specific task General Administration Guidelines - answer✔✔- always administer subtests in order EXAM STUDY MATERIALS July 30, 2024 11:26 AM - multiple administration sessions not ideal; keep them as close together as possible - start points - Reversals - Discontinues - Qualifying items - Teaching items - Queries - Prompts Start points - answer✔✔- depend on chronological age Reversals - answer✔✔- help you identify actual level of mastery (basal) Discontinues - answer✔✔- maintain rapport - minimize test time - provide a ceiling Qualifying items - answer✔✔- ensure that the child has skills necessary to perform the task (special education based) Teaching Items - answer✔✔- allow corrective feedback Queries - answer✔✔- elicit additional information about vague/incomplete responses Promp ts - answer✔✔- remind child of task EXAM STUDY MATERIALS July 30, 2024 11:26 AM General Scoring Guidelines - answer✔✔1) calculate subtest raw scores 2) Convert subtest raw scores to scaled scores 3) Obtain sum of scaled scores 4) Derive Index and FSIQ scores from scaled score sums 5) Plot the profile of subtest scaled scores, index score, and FSIQ 6) Analyze index and subtest level strengths/weaknesses (interpersonal differences to normative sample?) 7) Analyze index and subtest level pairwise differences (intrapersonal differences to own performance?) Qualitative descriptors of scores - answer✔✔- Extremely High = 130 and above - Very High = 120 -129 - High Average = 110 -119 - Average = 90 -109 - Low Average = 80 -89 - Very Low = 70 -79 - Extremely Low = 69 and below
