benefits of tests of cognitive abilities
- Pinpoint cognitive correlates of learning challenges
- Increase diagnostic capabilities by using alongside co-normed Achievement and Oral Language batteries
- Select specific tests for your referral concern with flexible administration design
- Generate an academically predictive Gf Gc composite for comparison to other cognitive abilities, oral language and achievement
- Gather the most robust measure of bread and narrow CHC abilities with diagnostically useful tests and clusters
- Offer greater administration flexibility and interpretive clarity
The fourth edition of the WJ IV Tests of Cognitive Abilities (Australasian Adaptation) supports a new era of Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC) theory, containing the greatest breadth of cognitive abilities of any standardised test battery. New tests and clusters have been designed to place emphasis on the most useful measures for identifying an individuals patterns of strengths and weaknesses through seven different broad CHC abilities. This updated and expanded battery provides the most diagnostically useful measures of CHC abilities for contemporary assessment needs.
The WJ IV Tests of Cognitive Abilities also offer a new Gf-Gc Composite for comparison with other cognitive abilities, oral language and achievement. Understanding relative strengths and weaknesses in comparison to the Gf-Gc Composite may lead to individualised instruction designed to target identified learning needs. Plus, all-new working memory, perceptual speed, and phonological processing measures help pinpoint cognitive correlates of learning problems, while a new easy-to-use, intra-cognitive variation procedure allows documentation of cognitive strengths and weaknesses.
Examiners will enjoy administrative flexibility and interpretive clarity with the WJ IV Tests of Cognitive Abilities alone; however, combining administrations of the co-normed WJ IV Tests of Achievement and Tests of Oral Language will increase diagnostic capability and sensitivity.
User Level: C
Determining achievement strengths and weaknesses is now easier than ever!
For Ages: 2 – 90+
Administration Time: 5 minutes per subtest
- Identify academic functioning and growth over time
- Determine relative academic strengths and weaknesses
- Use data to inform educational programming
Benefits of tests of achievement
- Pinpoint all 8 areas of academic functioning related to specific learning disabilities
- Increase diagnostic capabilities by using alongside co-normed Cognitive Abilities and Oral Language batteries

- Select specific tests for your referral concern with flexible administration design
- Use 3 parallel forms to enable reliable pre and post testing
The WJ IV Tests of Achievement (Form C) Australasian Adaptation is ideal for accurately screening, diagnosing and monitoring progress in reading, writing and mathematics achievement areas.
Examiners receive 11 tests in the standard battery. Using the standard battery provides a broad set of scores, while the extended battery allows for more in-depth diagnostic assessment of specific strengths and weaknesses. The selective testing feature of the WJ IV offers examiners the option to only administer the specific tests relevant to any referral questions. As a result, an examiner seldom needs to administer all of the tests or complete all of the interpretive options for a single person.
An examiner has access to an easy-to-use test and cluster comparison procedures allowing them identification of achievement strengths and weaknesses. Two-test Reading, Mathematics, and Written Language clusters provide standard skill development measures without speed requirements. Oral Reading, Reading Speed, and Reading Comprehension tests provide diagnostically useful measures that are necessary for the evaluation of reading performance. Number Matrices test adds a richer, in-depth interpretation of maths problem-solving ability. Variation procedures allow for comparison of fluency to basic skills and applications – an important diagnostic marker. Qualitative checklists for each test in the Standard Battery provide important information that is critical to understanding student performance. Updated and expanded Science, Social Studies, and Humanities tests can be compared to academic achievement. Increased diagnostic capability with measures of phonetic coding and speed of lexical access is a great benefit when used with the WJ IV Tests of Oral Language. Reading Fluency and Reading Rate clusters provide reliable and comprehensive measures of reading fluency.

For Ages: 2 – 90+
Administration Time: 5 minutes per subtest
- Assess Oral Language abilities in English
- Determines English language proficiency
- Compare strengths and weaknesses among oral language and language-related abilities
benefits of tests of oral language
- Important diagnostic supplement to the Tests of Cognitive Abilities and Tests of Achievement.
- Provide important information about phonological and rapid automatic naming skills
- Determine how academic achievement levels compare to oral language comprehension
- Allow for a more complete evaluation of specific learning disabilities, including Dyslexia

The WJ IV Tests of Oral Language (Australasian Adaptation) provide important contemporary measures of oral language abilities for diagnostic decision-making utilising patterns of strengths and weaknesses (PSW) as well as providing a measure of Cognitive-Academic Language Proficiency (CALP). It allow for more complete evaluation of specific learning disabilities including dyslexia.
The Oral Language tests may be used to determine and describe an individuals strengths and weaknesses with regard to expressive language. The 9-test battery are presented in a single easel. Segmentation test provides important information about phonological processing. The OL tests increase diagnostic sensitivity with measures of phonetic coding and speed of lexical access.
The Oral Language tests are used to determine if academic achievement is commensurate with, or discrepant from, the ability to comprehend oral language. Identify the cognitive and academic language proficiency of English language learners. Foundational phonological skills like breaking words into parts and blending sounds to make words are measured by WJ IV Oral Language tests. It is easy to evaluate the impact of oral language proficiency on cognitive and academic performance when the Oral Language tests are administered.
Depending on the purpose and extent of the assessment, an examiner can use any of these tests independently or in conjunction with the WJ IV Tests of Cognitive Abilities and/or WJ IV Tests of Achievement. Several of the battery’s tests were derived from the material in the WJ III Tests of Achievement and WJ III Tests of Cognitive Abilities.
