Abstract

The Wide Range Achievement Test (WRAT) continues to be utilized in the USA and Canada as an indicator for academic achievement, despite continuing concerns from experts regarding its validity and reliability and the compounding problem for Canadian users involving a lack of Canadian norms. The present discussion emphasizes the magnitude of the perceived inadequacies of the WRAT, particularly with Canadian children, and offers suggestions of alternate achievement tests which Canadian users should find more appropriate and valid for their purposes.
