Full Product Description
The WISC–V UK gives school psychologists, clinical psychologists and neuropsychologists flexibility and interpretive power to get a broader view of a child’s cognitive abilities.
Benefits
More efficient and user–friendly
The WISC–VUK increases construct coverage without increasing testing time. So, you get a more efficient, developmentally appropriate measure
– and still have time to assess other domains of interest
Efficiently produce all primary index scores
Significantly reduced testing time to obtain the FSIQ
Simplified instructions with reduced vocabulary level,
shorter discontinue rules, and refined scoring criteria
Five primary index scores, the FSIQ as well as three of the five ancillary index scores can be obtained through the ten primary subtests
More interpretive power
WISC–V UK provides statistical links to the WIAT III, to support more flexible evaluation of specific learning disabilities and two major approaches to specific learning disability identification: pattern of strengths and weaknesses analyses and ability–achievement discrepancy analyses
Expanded score analysis approach highlights index– and subtest–level strength and weaknesses analyses
Separate visual spatial and fluid reasoning composite scores results in greater interpretive clarity
Selection of process scores has been greatly expanded to enhance the depth of interpretation and understanding of performance
Updated psychometric properties
Updated normative sample standardised on UK children aged
6:0–16:11
Normative sample stratified to match current UK census data based on gender, ethnicity, parent education level, and geographic region for each age group
Strong subtest floors and ceilings facilitate accurate measurement at the extremes of cognitive ability
Comparable or improved reliability for subtest and composite scores
Updated studies
Updated special group studies
Updated validity studies with other measures including WISC–IV, WPPSI–IV, WAIS–IV, WIAT–III, KTEA–3, Vineland–II, and BASC–2
WISC®–V UK and WIAT®–III UK – Working together for a fuller picture
A linking sample comprising the WIAT®–III UK and WISC®–V UK has been collected, allowing you to conduct an Ability–Achievement Discrepancy Analysis with full confidence in the results.
Additional Benefits
Increases construct coverage without increasing testing time.
Efficiently produce all primary index scores
Significantly reduced testing time to obtain the FSIQ
Simplified instructions with reduced vocabulary level,
shorter discontinue rules, and refined scoring criteria
Additional Features
Three new primary subtests extend the content coverage of the WISC®–V UK and increase its practical application.
Visual Puzzles is a new Visual Spatial subtest that measures the ability to analyse and synthesise information
Figure Weights is a new Fluid Reasoning subtest that measures quantitative reasoning and induction
Picture Span is a new Working Memory subtest that measures visual working memory
Score Reports
Automatically converts total raw scores to subtest scaled scores
Automatically converts sums of scaled scores to composites scores, including the FSIQ and numerous index scores
Performs score comparisons at the index and subtest levels
Generates score reports with tables and graphs.
Interpretive Reports

Narrative summary of the child’s background, history, and test behaviors
Interpretation of the Full Scale IQ and all primary,
