Sample Reports

Score reports automatically convert total raw scores and sums of scaled scores, provide strengths and weakness analysis, perform score comparisons and generate score reports with tables and graphs.

Interpretive reports include full scoring information, narrative summary of the child's background, history, and test behaviors, interpretation of scores, recommendations and optional parent report.

Combination reports allow you to upgrade from a WPPSI-IV or WIAT-III score report to include a pattern of strengths and weaknesses analysis, and an ability achievement discrepancy analysis of the combined results.
