Factual knowledge across subjects lays the foundation for academic engagement, comprehension, and problem-solving. Understanding what students already know allows educators to identify knowledge gaps, personalize instruction, and support academic growth across content areas.
The WJ V Academic Facts Test is an oral assessment designed to measure comprehension-knowledge (Gc) by evaluating what students know across literacy, math, science, and the humanities. Recommended for individuals ages 5 and up, this interactive test offers a clear snapshot of academic knowledge, without requiring students to read or write.
Why Choose the WJ V Academic Facts Test?
Oral and Interactive
Items are presented aloud by the examiner, and students respond verbally. This format removes reading as a barrier to assessing knowledge.
Academic Breadth
The test covers a broad range of content areas, including literacy, math, science, and the humanities, offering a well-rounded view of a student’s factual understanding.
Equity-Minded Design
Items can be repeated when requested, and responses are not penalized for articulation or dialectal differences—supporting a fair and accessible testing experience.
Efficient & Flexible
Starting and stopping points are automatically adjusted based on age or grade, allowing for fast, tailored administration that respects each examinee’s needs.
How It Works
Examiners read questions from their device while students respond aloud. The examiner scores responses using an integrated key and follows built-in guidance when clarification is needed. Tests begin at an age-appropriate point and end based on basal and ceiling rules to ensure efficiency and accuracy.
