Age Range: 2:6 to 90+
Administration: 10-15 minutes
Scores/Interpretation: Age-based standard scores (M = 100, SD = 15), percentiles, normal curve equivalents (NCEs), stanines, age equivalents and Growth Scale Values (GSVs)
Qualification Level: B
EVT-3 maintains the basic format and qualities of the EVT–2 (e.g., parallel forms, stimulus questions, easy administration and response capture, accurate scoring) with additional upgrades and digital applications.
Benefits
- Measure expressive vocabulary acquisition.
- Contribute useful information when assessing expressive vocabulary, as part of a language evaluation, across the lifespan.
- Contribute useful information when screening or assessing strengths and weaknesses in the specific domain of semantics (i.e., word knowledge) and general area of language development.
- Directly compare receptive and expressive vocabulary.
- Move immediately into evidence-based interventions using those presented within the Q-global system.
Features
EVT-3 can be combined with PPVT-5, its co-normed companion test for receptive vocabulary, and The Bridge of Vocabulary 2.
- Available in paper/pencil and digital formats.
- Qualitative Analyses: five ways to help you make hypotheses about vocabulary performance.
- Growth Scale Values (GSVs): an objective score for measuring changes in performance over time.
- Updated normative data.
Sample Reports
