However, it has also been used to make decisions concerning educational achievement and scholastic aptitude for school aged individuals (Riverside publishing, 2012). It is a full battery assessment, which consists of two separate tests; the test of cognitive abilities and the test of achievement (Riverside, 2012). The Test of cognitive abilities measures both general and specific cognitive functions, and the test of achievement is used to determine and describe one’s academic strengths and weaknesses (Child-trends, 2004).

The test is published by Riverside Publishing Company (Riverside publishing, 2012). It is designed to measures general and specific cognitive abilities, scholastic aptitude,…
