2 or more
Name 1 strength of the SB from the reading.
Excellent standardization

Good test materials
Usefulness for individuals with some disabilities
Name 1 limitation of the SB from the reading.
Questionable construct validity
Complex, flexible, and somewhat imprecise administration procedures
Complex organization of the test
Inconvenient location of administrative guidelines
Basal rules vary by _____ and _____ on SB.
subtest and level
What is the difference between fixed cutoffs and flexible cutoffs?
Fixed Cutoffs: absolute score markers
Flexible Cutoffs: scores around the marker are considered with clinical judgement
There needs to be deficits in both _____ and _____ functioning to be considered ID.
intellectual and adaptive
What is a "testlet?"
All items on a subtest at one particular level of difficulty make a "testlet"
Nonverbal Visual-Spatial Processing and Nonverbal Working Memory have 6 levels (Levels 1-6) and the rest have 5 levels (Levels 2-6)
42 total testlets
What is the "routing procedure" that the SB uses?
First-- administer the Non-Verbal Fluid Reasoning subtest and the Verbal Knowledge subtest
Then-- the raw score on the Non-Verbal Fluid Reasoning and Verbal Knowledge will determine the start points for the remaining non-verbal and verbal subtests, respectively.
What is a "part score?"
"variables targeting more specific abilities than the IQ"
