  • Determine admittance eligibility for private schools.

Features

The WPPSI-IV-CDN places a strong emphasis on child-friendly features. The latest version of this test also includes new processing speed tasks.

  • Simplified and shortened instructions for children.
  • Demonstration, sample and teaching items, used whenever possible to ensure clarity of task demands.
  • Two new working memory subtests that provide age-appropriate, engaging tasks for children as young as 2.5 years old.
  • Three levels of interpretation: Full scale, Primary Index scale and Ancillary Index scale levels.
  • Three new game-like subtests that offer engaging art and use an ink dauber to indicate responses, which minimizes fine motor demands.
  • New and separate visual spatial and fluid reasoning composites for ages 4:0–7:7.

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-CDN or WIAT-III-CDN score report to include a pattern of strengths and weaknesses analysis, and an ability achievement discrepancy analysis of the combined results.
