Oh Dear, Please Tell Me I Did This Right

Ok so last night I administered my second WIAT to my 16 year old cousin. I felt like it was going well, but then...........

On the Reading Comprehension section, please tell me that we were not supposed to write their responses for EVERY SINGLE QUESTION. You know how the record form has those long narrow boxes? I have not been recording what the student says, I only write something there when I am not sure so I can go back and check it later in the appendix. Please tell me we were not supposed to write down every answer..

Another question: Last night my cousin went back and looked at the reading passages a lot when she wanted to answer. I think this was addressed before but is that ok for them to go back and look at the reading passage to find their answer?

  1. Amy,

    I have posted some things on Blackboard that may answer your questions. Best practice it to record ALL responses until you are really good at the scoring. That way you can go back after the test (somewhere quiet) and re-evaluate your scoring on those responses. If you haven't been doing that, it is okay, just start getting in the habit now. It could affect the examinee's scores!
