On the basis of percent-passing findings, one age-level grouping and five individual items appear to be inappropriately placed within the scale. Sex differences for both the Auditory Comprehension (AC) and Verbal Ability (VA) subtests, as well as for the total scale, were determined to be clinically insignificant. Moderately high correlational correspondence between the AC and VA subtests and nonsignificant differences between subtest means suggest that for the present sample the two subtests were fairly equivalent measures of language performance.
