A psychoeducational assessment usually draws on more than one test. Some measure how a person reasons and thinks; others measure learned academic skills like reading, writing, and math. This is the starting point for understanding the specific tests behind a report, whether you are reading a child’s results or your own. The tests below are grouped by what they measure, and each has its own plain-language guide.
What You’ll Find Here
Thinking and Reasoning (Cognitive) Tests
- The WISC-V: children and teens, roughly ages 6 to 16
- The WAIS-5: older teens and adults
Academic Skills (Achievement) Tests
- The WIAT-4: reading, writing, and math skills
- The Woodcock-Johnson V Tests of Achievement (WJ V ACH): reading, writing, and math skills
How This Connects
A test on its own is only a set of numbers. Making sense of a report means seeing how those numbers fit together: what each score means on its own, what patterns across scores can suggest, whether they point toward a diagnosis, and what comes next. The tests here are where that fuller picture starts, and the guides below carry it forward.
