Looking to streamline your WMLS III administration, scoring, and reporting? 

The WMLS III Digital Test Record (DTR) is your key to easy administration, real-time scoring, and immediate reporting. Available as an alternative purchase to paper test records, the DTR allows for:

• Immediate input of item-level data during administration with automatic score generation

• Guided administration with basal and ceiling rules

• Real-time in the moment scores

Guided administration ensures the correct establishment of basal and ceiling rules, increases the fidelity of the assessment and ensures accurate administration across all examiners. 

The DTR will become available in your WMLS III Scoring and Reporting platform following purchase. When adding examinees, simply choose to add a Digital Test Record.

The Test Session Overview Page

...will house all your identifying information, as well as your Language Background and Test Session Observations.

Throughout administration, you can also return to this page to see the test progress and scores.  Not all testing needs to be completed during a single session, so you can also come here to remind yourself what testing has already been completed, or how the child previously performed.

You can navigate throughout the Digital Test Record by test.  

All information entered is saved immediately, so loss of internet connection during administration is never an issue with your test data. 

For each test, the scoring instructions are made available so you don’t have to toggle between the test book and the Digital Test Record.  You choose your Suggested Starting Point, and the DTR will guide you to the first item.

Once you start administration, the DTR will continue to guide you through establishing a basal and ceiling. If basal is not established, you will be guided back to where you should start testing. When basal is obtained, the DTR will alert you.

Recording responses is easy.

Simply click 1 or 0, or scroll to see additional response scores.

For Test 2, Oral Comprehension, the audio files for the test are built right into each item.  When ready to administer, simply click the speaker icon, and the audio for that item will play. 

You will be notified immediately once ceiling is reached, allowing you to move expeditiously on to the next test, test the limits, or move to an entirely different subtest. 

If you skip an item, either by mistake or because you were not sure how to score it, the Digital Test Record will alert you to confirm that you meant to do so.

Once administration is complete, commit your test record as usual. Test scores will be immediately available in the

WMLS III Online Scoring and Reporting Platform.
