This 20 minutes audio recording gives practical suggestions for where to study for the third category of the WCS exam. There are three main categories covered by the test: Knowledge areas (mostly basic science), Patient management (the largest category of assessment and treatment), AND Professional Practice Expectations. This third category is covered in about 16% of the test questions. Don’t let this section surprise you. Learn what is included in this category and how you can study for these questions.

Example
Acceptable reliability (reliability coefficients):
1 = measurement has no error
> .90 is desired
> .75 = good
.50-.75 = moderate
< .50 = poor
0 = all measurement variability is error
Interrater/tester reliability: the consistency of measurements when more than one rater takes the measurements, indicates agreement of measurement taken by different examiners
Intrarater/tester reliability: the consistency of measurement when one rater takes repeated measurements in time; indicates the agreement of measurement taken over time
Test-retest reliability: the consistency of repeated measurements in time; indicates stability (reliability) over time
