Validating the Kaufman Test of Educational Achievement, Brief Form with educable mentally retarded students

To examine the validity of the Kaufman Test of Educational Achievement Brief Form, standard scores were correlated with Woodcock-Johnson Psycho-Educational Test standard scores and WISC-R Verbal, Performance, and Full Scale IQs. Kaufman scores were strongly related to Woodcock-Johnson scores and moderately related to WISC-R scores. Mean comparisons between composite scores were not significant. These outcomes were congruent with data reported in the Kaufman test manual and offer positive support for the concurrent validity of this test.
