- AVisual Puzzles
- BFigure Weights

- DThat wasn't quite right, let's do another one.
5When applying the reverse rule, you must
- AGo back to Item 1 and administer all items sequentially until you get to where you started.
- BGo back to administer items until one earlier item is correct.
- CGo back to administer items until two consecutive items are correct, not including the item with which you initially started.
- DGo back to administer items until two consecutive items are correct, including the item with which you initially started.
6If you are administering a subtest with subjective scoring and are unsure of what score an examinee's response should get, it is best to take a few minutes to carefully review that item's scoring rules and tell the examinee to wait quietly.
- ATrue
- BFalse
7Which subtests require the use of a stopwatch?

13All of the following are principles of the intelligent testing philosophy EXCEPT:
- ASubtests measure what the individual has learned.
- BSubtests are samples of behavior and not exhaustive.
- CBehavioral observations and background information are of little importance in interpreting a person's test profile
- DTest batteries are optimally useful when interpreted from a theoretical model.
- EIQ tests assess mental functioning under fixed experimental conditions.

- AVocabulary
- BBlock Design
- CVisual Puzzles

- AFigure Weights
- BBlock Design
- CVisual Puzzles
- DSymbol Search
- EInformation
16If the FSIQ is not interpretable,
- Athe GAI should automatically be designated as the best representation of a person's general intellectual ability.
- Bdetermine if the GAI can be calculated and interpreted as a reliable and valid estimate of a person's general intellectual ability.
- Cthe WAIS-IV is not a good test to measure the person's IQ.
- Dthe CPI sould be considered as the best measure of the person's general intellectual ability.

- AKey Asset.
- BPersonal Strength.
- CPersonal Weakness.
- DHigh Priority Concern.

- Aboredom.
- Bverbal expression.
- Cshort-term memory.
- Dselective attrition.

- ATrue
- BFalse
22Although a percentage of the clinical samples that had ADHD or major depression were on medication during the assessment of the WAIS-IV, it is not important to consider that factor in interpreting the results of these clinical group studies.
