Ability-Achievement Discrepancy (AAD) Analysis & the Pattern of Strengths and Weaknesses (PSW) Model
The WRAT5 Ability-Achievement Discrepancy Analysis table can be created with the following assessments: WISC-V and WASI-II (manual mode only).
The WRAT5 Pattern of Strengths and Weaknesses Model can be created with the following assessment: WISC-V.
Manual Mode
If only the WRAT5 assessment is chosen from the Examinee Details page, report generation will run in manual mode. In this mode, values must be manually entered into the AAD and PSW sections of the Report Configuration screen to receive the Ability-Achievement Discrepancy Analysis table and the Pattern of Strengths and Weaknesses Model in the report.
Automatic Mode
If the WRAT5 assessment is selected in combination with an ability assessment (WISC-V only for either AAD or PSW), report generation will run in automatic mode. Automatic mode pulls in drop-down values and will also populate fields into the AAD and PSW sections of the Report Configuration screen. Note: The WASI-II Ability test option for AAD is not available for the automatic mode.
Additional Information
Ability-Achievement Discrepancy and Pattern of Strengths and Weaknesses are only available for Age norms.
There are situations when an index may not be acceptable for a strength. In this situation, a yellow icon will display to the left of the Strength combo box. When highlighted, a tool-tip will appear stating: "[INDEX] may not be accepted as a processing strength within the PSW model in all settings."
There are situations when an index may not be acceptable for a weakness. If the score is 86 or higher, a yellow icon will appear. When highlighted, a tool-tip will appear stating, "Use of a score above 85 as a weakness may not be accepted in all settings."
