6The examiner must memorize all directions in order to administer the test appropriately.
- ATrue
- BFalse
7If you find you need to adapt the test to accommodate an individual with special needs, it is better not to administer the test altogether.
- ATrue
- BFalse
8Which of these subtests do NOT use a "reverse rule"?
- ABlock Design
- BSimilarities
- CDigit Span
- DVocabulary
- EVisual Puzzle
9To preserve the balance of maintaining rapport and getting necessary clinical information, it is best to:
- ARecord only the examinee's score if it can save some time and quicken the pace of the evaluation.
- Brecord the examinee's responses verbatim, but using abbreviations when possible.
- CRecord only incorrect responses to analyze clinically.
- DTell the examinee to wait just a few minutes while you very carefully write down every single word that is said.
10Which subtests require the use of a stopwatch?
- ASymbol Search
- BInformation
- CComprehension
- DCancellation
- EPicture Completion
11Unless replacing another subtest, none of the following subtests are used in the calculation of the FSIQ except
- ALetter-Number Sequencing.
- BSymbol Search.
- CComprehension.
- DFigure Weights.
12At what age can Figure Weights no longer be substituted for other PRI subtests?
- AAge 50
- BAge 60
- CAge 65
- DAge 70

- A100 and 15
- B50 and 10
- C10 and 3
- D5 and 2
- E500 and 100
14If you forget to administer the Digit Span Sequencing portion of the DIgit Span subtest, you can simply calculate the Digit Span Scaled Score based on the Raw Score sum of Digit Span Forward and Digit Span Backward because that was how digit Span was calculated on previous versions of the WAIS.

- BPicture Completion
- CLetter-Number Sequencing
- DVocabulary
- EBlock Design
17Using the WAIS-IV descriptive classification system to describe the WAIS-IV Index scores, a score of 84 should be described as
- Aa Normative Strength.
- Bwithin normal limits.
- CBorderline
- Da Low Average
18An abnormally large discrepancy between PRI and VCI means it is
- Arare among the normal population.
- Bequivalent to a statistically significant discrepancy.
- Cat least 50-point discrepancy.
- Dat least 5-point discrepancy.
19If an individual has WMI less than 85, that person has a possible deficit in

- Bauditory attention.
- Cexpressive language.
- Dspeed of auditory processing.
20In calculation of an individual's personal strengths and weaknesses in the index or factor profile, you compare each of their interpretable index or factor scores to the person's own mean index or factor score.
- ATrue
- BFalse
21What major variable, if left uncontrolled, tends to confound the results of cross-sectional analyses of aging and intelligence (and , therefore, has been controlled in most studies)?

22What kind of abilities are fluid reasoning (Gf) and processing speed (Gs) concerning changes in cognitive ability across the life span?
- AMaintained
- BResponsive to intervention
- CVulnerable
- DStatic
- EUnreliable
23Most researchers on aging and intelligence have documented empirically that speed is responsible for all of the decline that Horn and others have attributed to diminished fluid intelligence.
- ATrue
- BFalse
24Which Wechsler scale shows the greatest declines between young adulthood in both cross-sectional and longitudinal studies of aging and intelligence?
- APerceptual Reasoning Index (PRI)
- BProcessing Speed Index (PSI)
