The Woodcock-Johnson-III Normative Update (WJ-III-NU) is a recalculation of the normative data, based on 2005 U.S. Census statistics (U.S. Census Bureau, 2005) and updated norm construction procedures, for the Woodcock-Johnson-III (WJ-III). For users of the WJ-III, the normative update provides the most current comparison to the U.S. population. The updated norms are reflected in the Woodcock-Johnson-III Normative Update Compuscore and Profiles Program (WJ-III-NU Compuscore and Profiles Program) and this technical manual. The WJ-III-NU norms replace the original WJ-III 2000 norms. The WJ-nu-III consists of two distinct, co-normed batteries:

• The Woodcock-Johnson-III Tests of Cognitive Battery (WJ-IV-COG) includes 31 cognitive tests for measuring (in various combinations) general intellectual ability (g), broad and narrow cognitive abilities, and aspects of executive functioning. The Woodcock-Johnson-IV Tests of Cognitive Abilities (WJ-III-COG) includes 20 tests. The Woodcock-Johnson-III Diagnostic Supplement to the Tests of Cognitive Abilities (Diagnostic Supplement) includes an additional 11 tests.
• The Woodcock-Johnson-III Tests of Achievement (WJ-IV-ACH) includes 22 oral language and achievement tests in Forms A and B. The Woodcock-Johnson-IV Tests of Achievement Form C/Brief Battery (WJ-III-Form C/Brief Battery) includes a third form with nine achievement tests.
