The comparability of WISC and WISC‐R IQ scores was studied in a sample of 48 mildly retarded and borderline children. All WISC‐R and WISC IQ and subtest scores were found to be related significantly, but not directly comparable. Generally, the WISC‐R yielded lower scores with the exceptions of the Performance IQ score and the PC, PA, and OA subtest scores. Subtest patterning on the WISC‐R for this group was similar to previously reported data on the WISC. Caution was suggested in making direct comparisons of WISC and WISC‐R scores, at least within the ability range studied.
