What is the WRAT-5?

The WRAT5 is a nationally standardized, one-on-one assessment that measures key academic skills. It evaluates how well a student has developed foundational learning abilities, making it a dependable and efficient way to monitor progress across grade levels.

​

The WRAT-5 Assessment is an approved option to satisfy the PEP annual testing requirement and may be used in place of an annual portfolio evaluation, per the Unique Abilities scholarship guidelines.

​

This assessment focuses on three core areas:

• Reading – Measures word recognition and decoding skills, indicating how effectively a student can read and interpret written words.

• Spelling – Evaluates the ability to accurately write letters and words from dictation, reflecting early literacy and language development.

• Math Computation – Assesses the ability to solve fundamental math problems using operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

​

The WRAT-5 is designed to be brief and straightforward, requiring minimal preparation. Its shorter format makes it especially suitable for students who may have difficulty with long testing sessions or experience test-related anxiety.
