The DAB-4 is a revision of one of the most popular individual achievement tests available. Its 8 subtests identify students’ strengths and weaknesses across important areas of school achievement. A supplemental manual shows how to probe student responses to obtain information about students’ thinking processes and problem-solving strategies.
Subtests (*can be administered individually or in small groups):
• Listening Comprehension • Punctuation/Capitalization*
• Synonyms • Spelling*
• Alphabet/Phonics/Word Identification • Mathematics Reasoning
• Reading Comprehension • Mathematics Calculation*
Scores from the Subtests can be combined to form Five Composites:
• Spoken Language •Reading • Writing • Mathematics • Total Basic Academic Skills
Standard scores (M=10, SD=3 for the subtests and M=100, SD=15 for the composites), percentile ranks, and age/grade equivalents are provided.
Uses for the DAB-4:
The DAB-4 can be used to (1) identify students who are significantly below their peers in basic
academic skills, (2) determine the particular kinds of component strengths and weaknesses that
individual students possess, (3) document students’ progress in specific areas as a consequence
of special intervention programs, and (4) conduct research studies of academic achievement.
Ages: 6 through 14 years
Administration: Individual; 90-120 minutes
