Abstract
The article described the construction of a group vocabulary test derived from the Full-Range Picture Vocabulary Test for use in a major study of students in a large school system. The adaption resulted from the need for a vocabulary comprehension test which had a fixed number of items, could be administered by teachers, and had a non-oral mode of responding in order to minimize handicaps faced by students of non-English background. Data on a sample exceeding 5,000 (from Grades 5, 7 and 9) aided in describing and comparing student groups defined by numerous other variables. The usefulness and adaptability of the FRPV for specific study requirements are noted.
