Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
gone through several revisions since its initial introduction into the educational arena. The 1993 version is known as WRAT-3. Taking on the average only fifteen to thirty minutes
to administer, WRAT-3 is a brief achievement test that allows educators to assess reading, spelling and arithmetic skills at two levels: Level I (normed for ages 5-0 to 11-11)
and Level II (normed for ages 12 through age 64) (Wilkinson, 2005; Jastak and Jastak, 2005). Wilkinson (2005) contends that one
of the areas of special effectiveness for the WRAT-3 is the ability to identify the "level of coding performance on an absolute scale in relation to age peers". It
is important to note that the WRAT-3 is not normed by grade level but rather by age (Wilkinson, 2005). This results in a greater accuracy in that the standard
scores and percentiles are compared within a specific age group (Wilkinson, 2005). Wilkinson (2005) cautions that:
"Its grade levels are rough clues to instructional levels, not determinations of specific instructional needs".
The spelling and arithmetic portions of WRAT-3 can be directed to groups and individuals alike (Wilkinson, 2005). The reading portion of the test, however, has to be
administered on a individual level only (Wilkinson, 2005). Until the advent of the new computer scoring program, the WRAT-3 had to be scored manually but that process only took
five minutes (Wilkinson, 2005). Scores from the two sections can be combined and analyzed with the Profile/Analysis form (Wilkinson, 2005).
