Woodcock-Johnson IV: Tests of Achievement (UK & Ireland Edition)

Any person administering the WJ IV Ach needs prior knowledge of the exact administration and scoring procedures and an understanding of the importance of adhering to standardised procedures. To become proficient in administering the WJ IV Ach examiners need to study the administration and scoring procedures carefully and follow the procedures precisely.

Competent interpretation of the WJ requires a higher degree of knowledge and experience that is required for administering and scoring tests. Graduate-level training in educational assessment and a background in diagnostic decision-making are recommended for individuals who will interpret WJ results. Only trained and knowledgeable professionals who are sensitive to the conditions that may compromise, or even invalidate, standardised test results should make interpretations and decisions. The level of formal education recommended to use and interpret the WJIV Ach may include qualifications such as:

• Certificate of Competence in Educational Testing (CCET) t
• Post graduate qualification in special education
• Level 7 or equivalent qualification in specialist assessment (eg CPT3A or ETAAC)

The level of formal education recommended to interpret the WJ is typically documented by successful completion of an applicable graduate-level programme of study that includes, at a minimum, a practical type course covering administration and interpretation of standardised tests of academic achievement. In addition, many qualified examiners possess professional certification registration in a field or profession that includes as part of its formal training and code of ethics the responsibility for rendering educational assessment and interpretation services.
