Equivalence of Remote and In-Person Administration of the Woodcock-Johnson® V Tests of Cognitive Abilities and Achievement
Abstract:
This study evaluated the equivalency of remote and in-person administration of the Woodcock-Johnson V (WJ V) Tests of Cognitive Abilities and Achievement, using a matched case-control design with 300 participants aged 5–18. Participants were randomly assigned to remote or in-person administration and matched by age, gender, and ethnicity. Remote assessments were conducted using the Presence Platform under controlled conditions—including 13” laptops, high-resolution dual-camera setups, directed proctors, embedded content from the publisher, a specific set of test security protocols, and licensed examiners trained in both WJ V administration and the digital platform. Results demonstrated no statistically or practically significant differences between administration methods (p > .05; ω² < .03). These findings confirm the equivalency of remote administration under these strict fidelity standards.
