Wide Range Achievement Test-Expanded (WRAT-Expanded)
|
Group administration provides a "snapshot" of the general
knowledge level in a classroom. Individual administration
provides a measure to evaluate students' progress.
The WRAT-Expanded is a brief achievement instrument that provides an
overall
assessment of the general skill level of classroom students.
• The WRAT-Expanded provides both individually and group administered
forms,
which have been co-normed to enable direct comparisons between
the two forms.
• The Group (Form G) and the Individual (Form I) forms may be given three
months
apart allowing for short term pre-test and post-test assessment.
• The Group form may be administered by classroom teachers to screen the
entire
class
at the beginning of the year, taking only three class periods, a maximum
40 minutes
each period.
• The Group form may be used by learning specialists (Resource Room teachers,
Special Education teachers) to quickly evaluate small groups of referrals,
rather than
assessing each one individually.
• The Group form provides a nonverbal reasoning component, which gives an
assessment
of reasoning ability, factoring out language handicaps which might
be
interfering with school achievement. The Group form also provides content
skill
analysis for both the Reading and Mathematics tests.
• On the Individual form, recommended test Levels and the "Level Scoring Rule"
allow for assessment using a minimal number of items, thus saving time.
• Tables provide age and grade norms, as well as "out of level" norms for
students who
have been retained a grade, or classes being instructed below grade
level.
• WRAT-Expanded was normed on ages 5-24 years, covering college age
students who
might be having learning difficulties.
• Grade levels for the Group form are color coded for easy identification.
