Abstract: The Woodcock-Johnson V Tests of Cognitive Abilities (WJ V COG), published in February 2025, offers the latest edition of the WJ family of tests alongside tests of academic achievement and oral language. The WJ V COG has changed substantially from previous editions regarding administration, which is now entirely digital. Administration and scoring are housed within the Riverside Insight's online platform. The test battery features several changes, such as the addition of five new tests and the removal of three tests, including measures of Auditory Processing (Ga). The WJ V COG maintains a CHC-based theoretical framework, although updated to align with current theory. Psychometric evidence, including validity, reliability, and item-level analysis, is robust. Evidence is less convincing for children under six. The assessment was co-normed with measures of academic achievement, and the norm sample was gathered post-COVID. Although some may find requirements of digital administration limiting, the WJ V COG offers an engaging and psychometrically sound option for the assessment of intelligence.
