The Peabody Individual Achievement Test-Revised-Normative Update (PIAT-R/NU) is an efficient individual measure of academic achievement. Reading, mathematics, and spelling are assessed in a simple, nonthreatening format that requires only a pointing response for most items. This multiple-choice format makes the PIAT-R ideal for assessing low functioning individuals or those with limited expressive abilities. With PIAT-R/NU, only those items within the student’s range of difficulty are administered. The subtests measure: 1) General Information—100 verbal items assess general knowledge. 2) Reading Recognition—100 items measure recognition of printed letters and the ability to read words aloud. 3) Reading Comprehension—82 items measure reading comprehension. The student chooses one of four pictures that best illustrates a sentence. 4) Written Expression—assesses written language skills for two levels. Level I, for K-1, tests pre-writing skills. Level II, Grades 2-12, requires the student to write a story about a picture. 5) Mathematics—100 multiple choice items test knowledge and application of math concepts and facts. 6) Spelling—100 multiple choice items measure recognition of correct word spelling. PIAT-R also provides a Written Language Composite, obtained by combining scores on the Spelling and Written Expression subtests, and a Total Reading score, a combination of scores from the Reading Recognition and Reading Comprehension subtests for overall indexes for written expression and reading achievement. Based on a national sampling of over 3,000 people, PIAT-R provides accurate score comparisons for reading decoding, reading comprehension, and math applications with the other achievement batteries with which it was conormed: KTEA/NU, KeyMath-R/NU, and WRMT-R/NU. Qualification level: B, Q2-Level.(PsycTESTS Database Record (c) 2019 APA, all rights reserved)
