Customer Reviews
I won't write a report without it
This book is absolutely essential in answering questions about administration and scoring. It also does a fantastic job of explaining the theory behind the C-H-C theory and how it is used in the WJ-III. Finally, it gives great pointers in interpretation. It does a thorough job of explaining GAF, clusters, and subtests.
Excellent Condition
As always the product(book) arrived in record time and was in excellent condition. Thanks Amazon for always doing a great job!!
