Quickly acquire the knowledge and skills you need to confidently administer, score, and interpret the WJ IIITM The most widely used comprehensive assessment test-the Woodcock-Johnson-has been newly separated into two distinct tests: Achievement and Cognitive Abilities. The WJ III(TM) Tests of Achievement include reading, mathematics, written language, and knowledge tests. To use these tests properly, professionals need an authoritative source of advice and guidance on how to administer, score, and interpret them. Cowritten by the creator of the Woodcock-Johnson and a coauthor of the WJ III(TM) Tests of Achievement, Essentials of WJ III(TM) Tests of Achievement Assessment is that source.
