WJ V for Practitioners
Gold-Standard Assessments, Built for Your Practice
The Woodcock–Johnson V (WJ V) is one of the world’s most trusted and comprehensive cognitive and achievement assessments. Now available in a flexible, affordable format designed specifically for independent educational psychologists, specialist assessors, and SEN professionals.
With packages to suit every caseload, you can deliver accurate, defensible results that your clients and the organisations you work with can trust.
Bring Clarity to Complex Learning Needs
From preparing JCQ-compliant evidence to ensuring fair exam access, your assessment responsibilities are bigger than ever. Traditional testing can be time-consuming, inflexible, and slow to deliver results, taking time away from what matters most, supporting your students. The WJ V suite equips your school or trust with:
WJ V ACHIEVEMENT
Measure key academic skills such as reading, maths, and written language. Perfect for dyslexia assessments, literacy profiling, and exam access arrangements.
WJ V COG
Assess cognitive abilities including processing speed, working memory, and reasoning skills. Ideal for identifying learning differences, and building a full learner profile.
WJ V VTL
Evaluate associative learning and memory skills to gain deeper insight into how your client processes and retains information. A valuable add-on to cognitive and achievement assessments.
Note: The WJ V Cognitive Battery (COG) is available to professionals with specialist qualifications.
