Practitioners have the option to administer and score the KTEA-3 and the WIAT-III using Q-interactive, Pearson’s digital system for tablet-based assessment. Q-interactive is designed to streamline the assessment process for the examiner to reduce administration and scoring errors, minimize scoring time, and allow the examiner to focus more on the examinee and less on the mechanics of

assessment.

The information provided in this chapter is intended to benefit a wide audience. The basics of how to use Q-interactive are clearly explained for new and novice users, while more advanced tips and explanations are provided for more experienced users. This chapter is organized into five sections:

1.Q-interactive versus Q-global

2.Equivalency research

3.Essential Features of Q-interactive

4.Basic Steps to Using Q-interactive

5.Administering KTEA-3 and WIAT-III Subtests on Q-interactive
