What is the age range covered by the WPPSI-IV?
Answer: 2 years 6 months to 7 years 7 months
The WPPSI-IV is designed for children aged 2:6 through 7:7, covering preschool and early primary school years.
How many age bands does the WPPSI-IV use to organize its administration?
Answer: Two
The WPPSI-IV uses two age bands — 2:6–3:11 and 4:0–7:7 — each with a distinct set of subtests and available composite scores.
In what year was the WPPSI-IV published?
Answer: 2012
The WPPSI-IV was published in 2012, replacing the WPPSI-III which had been released in 2002.
Which of the following primary index scores is available in the older age band (4:0–7:7) but NOT in the younger age band (2:6–3:11)?
Answer: Fluid Reasoning Index
The Fluid Reasoning Index is only computed for children in the older age band; the younger band yields only VCI, VSI, and WMI.
What is the mean and standard deviation of WPPSI-IV composite (index) scores?
Answer: Mean 100, SD 15
Like all Wechsler composite scores, WPPSI-IV index scores use a mean of 100 and standard deviation of 15.
What is the standard deviation for WPPSI-IV subtest scaled scores?
Answer: 3
WPPSI-IV subtests use a mean of 10 and standard deviation of 3, consistent with the metric used across all Wechsler instruments.
Which WPPSI-IV subtest requires a child to select one picture from each of two or three rows that share a common characteristic?
