Assessment In Counseling Practice Test

The Wechsler Individual Achievement Test- Third Edition (WIAT-III) is commonly used to inform decisions about what?

Athletic Eligibility Eligibility for Services and Placement Career Counseling Personality Assessments

Correct Answer:

Eligibility for Services and Placement

Explanation:

The main idea this item tests is how achievement tests are used in educational decision-making. The WIAT-III is an achievement assessment that measures a student’s academic skills across areas like reading, math, writing, and spelling. Schools rely on these results to determine whether a student qualifies for special education services or placement changes (such as an IEP or 504 plan) and to plan appropriate educational supports. It’s not about athletic eligibility, career counseling, or personality traits, which require entirely different kinds of assessments. So the best fit is that the WIAT-III informs eligibility for services and placement.
