unless has item sets

Question 20

phonological processing

Answer 20

start point = administer all sections, grades PK-12+ start at beginning of each section

discontinue after 3 consecutive scores of 0

can repeat item if necessary

say letter sound rather than letter name

don’t penalize for articulation differences

don’t penalize for exaggerated single phoneme sounds

Question 21

math concepts and applications

Answer 21

has grade specific start points

basal is must pass first three items given, or drop back one start point

discontinue after 4 consecutive scores of 0

all word problems read aloud by examiner

Question 22

letter and word recognition

Answer 22

has grade specific start point

basal = pass first 3 items given or reverse one page of items until 3 consecutive scores of 1 - allow examinee to finish page before reversing

discontinue = after 4 consecutive scores of 0, let examinee finish page before discontinuing

Nonsense word decoding

Answer 23

start point = grades 1-12+ is item 1

discontinue after 4 consecutive scores of 0, allow examinee to finish page before discontinuing

“try the next one” if examinee takes a long time

if say words disconnected and stop, say “now say it altogether”

Answer 26

- grades 1-12+ = item 1 allow exactly 1 minute for examinee to complete as many items as possible

Question 27

written expression

Answer 27

grade specific start point basal = if first several items seem difficult, drop back one level discontinue role = discontinue at stop point for level for level 1 = stop testing if the examinee scores 0 on all of the items 3-10

Question 28

spelling

Answer 28

grade specific start point basal = must pass first 3 items given, or reverse one item at a time until 3 consecutive scores of 1 discontinue = stop testing after 4 consecutive scores of 0

Question 29

object naming facility

Answer 29

start point = grades pk-12+ start with practice items, and then complete trial 1 and 2

Question 30

reading vocabulary

Answer 30

grade specific start point basal = grades 4-12+ must pass the first 3 items or drop back to item 1 discontinue = stop testing after 4 consecutive scores of 0

Question 31

letter naming facility

Answer 31

start point grades k-12+ = start with practice items, then complete trial 1 and 2 discontinue = stop testing if one or more errors are made on the practice items

Question 32

listening comprehension

Answer 32

start point = items are grouped into grade specific sets

Question 33

word recognition fluency

Answer 33

grade specific start point timing exactly 15 seconds per trial for examinee to read as many words as possible

Question 34

oral expression

Answer 34

start point is grade specific basal = if task is scored 0 on both of the first two items administered, drop back one start point discontinue = if 5 consecutive items within a set scored 0 for both task and grammar, stop testing
