Relationship between the Kaufman Test of Educational Achievement—Brief Form and the Wide Range Achievement Test—Revised Level 2 with Incarcerated Juvenile Delinquents
The Kaufman Test of Educational Achievement—Brief Form and the Wide Range Achievement Test—Revised Level 2 were administered in counterbalanced order to 50 male incarcerated juvenile delinquents. The analyses showed the similar subtests on the two tests, i.e., Kaufman Reading test and WRAT—R Reading, were highly correlated. The mean standard scores of the similar subtests were not significantly different from each other. These results contrast with the significantly lower WRAT—R scores found when scores on the WRAT—R Level 1 are compared with those on the Kaufman test.
