The equivalence of Forms L and M of the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-Revised were examined for 57 learning disabled students.

However, correlation of the two groups' scores indicated only moderate relationships, suggesting a moderate amount of variability might be expected when both forms are used with the same student.
