Age Range: 2:6 to 90+ 
Administration:  10-15 minutes
Scores/Interpretation: Age-based standard scores (M = 100, SD = 15), percentiles, normal curve equivalents (NCEs), stanines, age equivalents and Growth Scale Values (GSVs) 

Qualification Level:  B 

EVT-3 maintains the basic format and qualities of the EVT–2 (e.g., parallel forms, stimulus questions, easy administration and response capture, accurate scoring) with additional upgrades and digital applications.

Benefits

• Measure expressive vocabulary acquisition.
• Contribute useful information when assessing expressive vocabulary, as part of a language evaluation, across the lifespan.
• Contribute useful information when screening or assessing strengths and weaknesses in the specific domain of semantics (i.e., word knowledge) and general area of language development.
• Directly compare receptive and expressive vocabulary.
• Move immediately into evidence-based interventions using those presented within the Q-global system.

Features

EVT-3 can be combined with PPVT-5, its co-normed companion test for receptive vocabulary, and The Bridge of Vocabulary 2.

• Available in paper/pencil and digital formats.
• Qualitative Analyses: five ways to help you make hypotheses about vocabulary performance.
• Growth Scale Values (GSVs): an objective score for measuring changes in performance over time.
• Updated normative data.
