Scores on the Wechsler Individual Achievement Test and the Kaufman Test of Educational Achievement-Comprehensive Form for Emotionally Conflicted Adolescents
Subtest scores on the Wechsler Individual Achievement Test and the Kaufman Test of Educational Achievement-Comprehensive Form were compared for 27 emotionally conflicted adolescents. Correlations between subtests paired for assumed comparability ranged from .79 to .91 (median r = .69), and one of five mean comparisons was significant (Wechsler Mathematics Reasoning > Kaufman Mathematics Applications). The results suggest that these selected Wechsler subtests possess utility for assessing academic achievement and provide an acceptable alternative to the K–TEA.
