The AAB is a complete achievement assessment, offering both a comprehensive battery as well as a screening version for use with individuals throughout the life span.

Features and benefits

• Developed using academic standards set by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, the National Council of Teachers of English, Common Core, and Reading First.
• Administration and scoring are straightforward and easy—and both versions have a Fast Guide to help you get started.
• Unlike similar measures, the AAB requires no certification or intensive preparation—simply open your AAB kit and review the materials, and you will be ready to begin assessment.
• Provides age- and grade-based (Fall and Spring) norms.
• Scoring is available through PARiConnect; stimuli are available digitally.

Screening Form

• Can be administered in 15-30 minutes and scored in 5-10 minutes.
• Measures basic academic skills including letter and word reading, spelling, and mathematical calculation.
• An optional written composition component requires an extra 15 minutes to administer.
• A composite score provides the user with a snapshot of the individual’s performance in reading, spelling, writing, and math.
• Appropriate for evaluating fundamental academic skills during an initial evaluation, during reevaluation, or when working with those referred for learning, behavior, or vocational concerns.

Technical information

• Reliability coefficients for the subtests range from .77 to .97 and from .88 to .98 for the composite scores across the age- and grade-based normative samples.
• AAB subtest and composite scores were found to be highly correlated with similar constructs on the WJ® III, KTEA™ -II, WRAT4, and WIAT® -III.
• The manual includes evidence supporting the ability of the AAB to differentiate performance in individuals with various learning disabilities, intellectual developmental disorder, ADHD, and speech/language impairment.
