Description
Originally published in 1977, the Woodcock-Johnson Tests of Achievement (WJ ACH) was designed to measure general intellectual ability, specific cognitive abilities, oral language abilities, and achievement. It is recognized as one of the most widely used and respected individual achievement tests. The single test has now been divided into two distinct tests, one on achievement (the WJ III ACH) and one on cognitive abilities (the WJ III COG). This text provides an easy-to-use guide and reference for mental health professionals and practitioners, from those who want to understand the key features of the WJ III ACH to those who want to learn to administer the test. A companion text describing the use and interpretation of the WJ III COG is also available. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
