The Survey and Complete Battery tests are similar in that they cover the same subjects: Vocabulary, Reading, Spelling, Language, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, and Study Skills and produce a report that gives you national norms information.


There are two major differences in the tests: the first is the length of the tests. The Survey has twenty questions per section and can be completed in @ four hours. The Complete Battery might have 20-50 questions, and it takes @ 6-8 hours to administer (spread over 3-5 days).

The second difference is the report. In addition to the national norms information that is given, the Complete Battery report will have a Diagnostic Profile which breaks down each subtest into the objectives that were tested; for example, adding fractions, subject-verb agreement, etc. The Profile will show whether or not the student mastered each of the tested objectives.

What is the difference between the reader and non-reader tests?

What does the price include?
The price for each test includes the student’s test booklet, the examiner’s manual, record-keeping materials, scoring, shipping, and a computer-printed report of test scores.
