The Woodcock-Johnson Test of Achievement Form C/Brief Battery (2007) is described by its authors as an individually administered measure of achievement for individuals aged 2 through 90 plus. The Brief Battery is an addition to the Woodcock-Johnson III Normative Update family of products, which includes the Woodcock-Johnson III Tests of Achievement, Forms A and B, and the Woodcock-Johnson III Tests of Cognitive Abilities. The component tests and administration procedures that are included in the Brief Battery are representative of the nine core subtests of the Woodcock-Johnson III Tests of Achievement, Forms A and B, but with all new items (Mather, Schrank, & Woodcock, 2007, p. 5). The Brief Battery clusters include Brief Achievement, Brief Reading, Brief Math, and Brief Writing. According to the authors, each of these clusters is intended to provide a highly reliable forecast of future achievement in a minimum amount of testing time (Mather, et al., 2007, pp. 6-8). The reported testing time of the Brief Achievement cluster is approximately 15 minutes. Ten minutes is the testing time being reported for the Brief Reading clusters and Brief Math clusters. The Brief Writing cluster testing time frame is reported as approximately 20 min, with an overall 1 hour needed to complete all nine subtests.
