Correlations among special education students' WISC-R IQ's and SRA scores. 1991

T Schellinger, and J Beer

For 50 children in special education from rural north central Kansas school districts (30 boys, 20 girls) were recorded SRA scores (Composite, Reading, Mathematics, and Education Quotient) and WISC-R IQs (Full Scale, Verbal, and Performance). There were no sex differences on any variable and all variables intercorrelated (Pearson) significantly. The two tests gave similar results over-all, confirming that the individually administered WISC-R and the group-administered SRA provide information on children's academic abilities and, used together, give a basis for appropriate judgments regarding academic abilities.
