The Stanford‐Binet and WISC‐R were administered to 100 students (CA—6 to 15 years) to determine the comparability of the age equivalent scores obtained from each test. The limited range of test age (TA) values in the WISC‐R Manual required the use of extrapolated values for some subjects. The results indicated that, for subjects whose WISC‐R scores fell within the TA table, the Binet MAs and WISC‐R TAs were comparable ( p >.05). However, when the use of extrapolated TAs was required, the scores were not comparable ( p <.05). Implications for test age and mental age equivalency were discussed.
