Woodcock-Johnson Tests of Achievement (WJ IV or WJ V) 

In-Person or Remote Administration

WJ IV  

Cindy Hyde, cindy@achievementtesting.info, will test in her home in Saluda, North Carolina or remotely via Zoom.  On an exception basis, Cindy may travel to do testing and will charge 50 cents per mile round trip.  She also tests in-person in Franklin, North Carolina during specific dates.

Cindy is your best option for achievement testing.  She has attended specialized training at Rutgers from the test publisher for WJ IV and all online training for the WJ V. She provides the best value ... a frequent comment is that "the scores are nice to have, but the consult with Cindy is invaluable!"
Discounts (can be combined):
The Woodcock-Johnson IV and V are administered primarily orally in a one-on-one environment and meet North Carolina state home-schooling requirements. The next version of the Woodcock-Johnson (WJ V) will be released in February 2025 and Cindy will transition to it in the following months. High scores on the "Broad" interpretive clusters will typically qualify for gifted programs. Prices include consultation with parents to discuss test results and observations during testing and also WJ IV Interpretation & Instructional Interventions Program (WIIIP®), which provides a detailed interpretation of student performance offering research-based interventions and strategies based on an examinee’s scores. WIIIP

A Dyslexia Report can be generated if the following are administered:

"The assessment of dyslexia requires consideration of many factors beyond standardized test performance, including the student’s developmental and family history, exposure to appropriate classroom instruction, and response to intervention. When used within the context of a comprehensive evaluation, the Dyslexia Report and Dyslexia Checklists can help examiners determine if their client demonstrates the characteristics of dyslexia and then plan interventions accordingly.  The WJ IV Dyslexia Report provides a conceptual framework that organizes WJ IV test results for the purpose of identifying characteristics of dyslexia." (WIIIP® Dyslexia Report Guide, p.4)
