    TEST NAME: WRAT (Wide Range Achievement Test)

    Introduction of WRAT
    The Wide-Range Achievement Test (WRAT) was developed in the 1930s by psychologist
    Joseph Jastak and first published for operational use in 1946. Two subsequent revisions of the
    WRAT were issued in 1984 (WRAT-R) and 1993 (WRAT 3; Wilkinson, 1993). The current
    edition—WRAT 4—retains the focus of the previous editions by providing norm-referenced
    measures of reading, spelling, and mathematics computation. Designed for use with individuals
    age 5–94 years, the WRAT 4 contains four subtests: word reading, sentence comprehension,
    spelling, and mathematics computation. The reading and sentence comprehension tests must be
    administered individually, whereas the spelling and mathematics computation tests may be
    administered either individually or in small groups. The administration time required is 15–45
    minutes, depending on the age of the test taker. The various editions of the WRAT have enjoyed
    widespread use due to their ease of administration and scoring and the amount of information
    obtained in a relatively brief amount of testing time.
    Purpose of the Test:
    The WRAT-3 measures basic skills in reading, arithmetic, and spelling. The
    test covers ages from 5–75 years old and takes approximately 30 minutes to administer.
    Description

    The WRAT-3 has two alternative testing forms (tan and blue). One form is administered with the
    second form available if needed. Both testing forms (both the tan and blue forms) can be
    administered. When this is done, a combined scored is obtained. Each testing form consists of
    one reading test, one arithmetic test, and one spelling test. The reading test is administered
    individually, but the other two tests may be given in groups of up to five people. The reading test
    consists of 15 letters and 42 individual words that the examinee is asked to name or pronounce.
    The spelling test consists of writing one’s name, 13 letters, and up to 40 words dictated to the
    examinee and used in a sentence. The spelling items increase with difficulty. Finally, the
    arithmetic test consists of two parts. Part I requires counting, reading number symbols, and
    solving simple arithmetic problems that are verbally presented to the examinee. Part II consists
    of using paper and a pencil to calculate up to 40 arithmetic problems within 15 minutes. These
    arithmetic problems are presented in a test booklet.

    Results

    Scoring consists of a 1 for a correct answer and a 0 for an incorrect answer. The raw scores are
    converted to standard scores. These are scores that allow the examiner to compare the
    individual’s score to other people who have taken the test. Additionally, by converting raw
    scores to standard scores the examiner has uniform scores and can more easily compare an
    individual’s performance on one test with the individual’s performance on another test.
