    The passage discusses the Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence (WASI)-II, a brief cognitive assessment measure that has been revised and updated from its predecessor, the WASI. Key updates and improvements include simplified administration, updated norms, subtests, and scoring.

    Some of the updates and improvements made to the WASI-II compared to its predecessor include updated norms, simplified administration and scoring, updated subtests, and more streamlined directions.

    The WASI-II offers two administration options - a four-subtest form that takes 30 minutes and provides various scores, and a two-subtest form that takes about 15 minutes and provides an FSIQ-2 score.

    Up-to-date, brief,

    and reliable.
    Today’s leading brief cognitive measure has been revised. Like its predecessor, the
    Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence®, Second Edition (WASI®–II) hits
    the mark as a short, accurate, reliable measure of verbal, nonverbal, and general
    cognitive ability.
    On Target.
    The accuracy you expect. The efficiency you need.

    For use in clinical, educational, and research settings, the WASI–II maintains the structure of the
    WASI, while offering new content and improvements to provide greater utility and efficiency.

    • Updated norms for ages 6:0–90:11


    • Simplified administration and scoring
    • Updated subtests
    • Flexible administration options
    • Closer parallels to WISC–IV and WAIS–IV

    Updated norms
    The WASI–II features an updated normative sample that is more representative of today’s
    population. Norms are based on a national sample of approximately 2,300 individuals aged
    6:0–90:11.

    Simplified administration and scoring save valuable time


    Short, simple, user friendly administration and scoring make the WASI–II more efficient,
    helping to ease clinicians’ busy schedules. Updates include:

    • More streamlined directions


    • Reading instructions shortened by 40%
    • Enhancements to the Stimulus Book make it easier to use
    • Shorter discontinue rules
    • Reversal rules that are more user-friendly and consistent with comprehensive
    Wechsler scales
    Stronger connections with
    the WISC®–IV and WAIS®–IV

    The WASI–II can be used in conjunction with the Hand scoring

    if a comprehensive intellectual assessment is needed. If
    WASI–II results indicate an in-depth assessment is needed,
    the WASI–II subtest scores can be substituted for the four
    corresponding subtest scores on the WISC–IV or WAIS–IV,
    which makes administration of those four subtests from the
    WISC–IV and WAIS–IV unnecessary.
