When assessing a child with a visual impairment, it may be advisable to administer subtests from the VCI and WMI only.
If an examiner finds that he or she did not administer enough items to meet the discontinue rule for a subtest, the subtest should be considered spoiled.
On a Similarities subtest item, Jessica, age 7, provides several responses that vary greatly in quality but do not spoil her response. You should
score Jessica's best response.

include the additional items in the total raw score by deducting points for incorrect responses committed after the discontinue point.
Although prorating sum of scaled scores is allowed in some situations, it should be avoided when possible.
