Purpose of Academic Testing
• Identify areas of academic strength and weakness
• Diagnose specific learning disabilities• Develop recommendations to address
academic deficiencies
![Page 3: Woodcock Johnson III Tests of Achievement Transition Academy @ Shadd October 5, 2010 (Adapted from Riverside Publishing Materials)](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032806/56649f065503460f94c1bbf3/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Learning Disabilities
• Two operational definitions:– Significant discrepancy between ability and
achievement– Response to intervention
• Different from DSM-IV-TR Learning Disorder, yet related.
![Page 4: Woodcock Johnson III Tests of Achievement Transition Academy @ Shadd October 5, 2010 (Adapted from Riverside Publishing Materials)](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032806/56649f065503460f94c1bbf3/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Issues with Academic Testing
• Age norms vs. Grade norms– Kids enter school at different ages– Children can be accelerated or retained in grade– Which normative sample to use?
• If you are computing ability-achievement discrepancies, you will need to use age norms.
• However, if the student has been retained or accelerated in grade, should also re-compute scores using grade norms.

Psychometrics of WJ-III ACH
• Major strength of the WJ-III ACH test battery – co-normed with the WJ-III COG test battery.
• Standardization sample: 8,818 subjects• 100+ geographic areas (including Moorpark!)• Reliability:
– For individual subtests across all ages: .70 to .96
– For clusters across all ages: .93 to .99
– Alternative form reliabilities for Passage Comprehension range between .85 and .96 over all ages.

Psychometrics of WJ-III ACH
• Validity– Differential correlational patterns between different
cluster scores suggest discriminant validity.– Factor structure aligns with the narrow Cattell-Horn-
Carroll abilities• Validity studies with the KTEA and WIAT show
modest agreement– Total Achievement on WJ-III with KTEA: .79– Total Achievement on WJ-III with WIAT: .65– Convergent and Discriminant validity coefficients are
a little higher e.g.:• WJ-III Broad Reading with WIAT Reading Composite: .82• WJ-III Broad Reading with WIAT Math Composite: .50
![Page 7: Woodcock Johnson III Tests of Achievement Transition Academy @ Shadd October 5, 2010 (Adapted from Riverside Publishing Materials)](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032806/56649f065503460f94c1bbf3/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Psychometrics of WJ-III ACH
• Discriminant validity with WJ-III COG, WAIS-III, and Kaufman Adolescent & Adult Intelligence testing produces lower coefficients (most below .50).

“IQ tests are a poor way to judge people's abilities, failing as they do to account for magic, which has its own importance, both by
itself and as a compliment to logic.”

“Sometimes when I'm in a bookstore or a library, I am
overwhelmed by all the things that I do not know.”
- Arthur C. Clarke
![Page 36: Woodcock Johnson III Tests of Achievement Transition Academy @ Shadd October 5, 2010 (Adapted from Riverside Publishing Materials)](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032806/56649f065503460f94c1bbf3/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Basal and Ceiling Rules
• For almost all tests (exceptions are noted in the scoring record sheets), to obtain a valid score on any subtest, you need a basal level of 6 items correct and a ceiling level of 6 items incorrect.
• Add up the total number of items correct (including items BELOW basal) = Raw Score.
• Enter Raw Scores in the WJ-III Scoring Assistant (hand scoring not really an option).
![Page 37: Woodcock Johnson III Tests of Achievement Transition Academy @ Shadd October 5, 2010 (Adapted from Riverside Publishing Materials)](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032806/56649f065503460f94c1bbf3/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Scoring Output
• W-scores– Equal-interval scale where 500 is set to approximate the average
performance of a 10-0 child. – Used to measure growth.
• Age Equivalents / Grade Equivalents– Raw score cross-referenced to the median score within the age/grade
band.– Highly variable.
• RPI – Relative Proficiency Index– Predicts a student’s level of proficiency on tasks that typical age- or
grade-level peers would perform with 90% proficiency.– RPI of 55/90 indicates impairment – they did 55%, a peer would do
90%– RPI of 98/90 indicates strength – they did 98%, a peer would do
90%
