WISC Sample Test Questions for WISC-IV and WISC-V
Wondering what kinds of questions your child will be asked on the WISC-V (Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, Fifth Edition)? Here are five examples from five of the subtests given on the WISC-V.
IMPORTANT: While the WISC-V sample questions shown on this page are representative of what your child will see on the exam, they aren’t taken directly from the actual test that’s being administered this year. For more WISC Practice, check out our 100 Free Questions.
WISC-V Sample Question #1 — Fluid Reasoning, Figure Weights:
Parent, say to your child: “Which one of these (point to the answer choices) weighs the same as this (point to the star on the left side of the question mark)?”
WISC-V Sample Question #2 — Verbal Comprehension, Vocabulary:
Parent, say to your child: “I’m going to show you some pictures. First I’ll tell you a word, and then I want you to point to the picture of that word. Let’s begin! Now, point to the weather vane.”
WISC-V Sample Question #3 — Verbal Comprehension, Similarities:
Parent, ask your child this question out loud: “How are morning and afternoon alike?” (Answer: They’re both times in a day.)
WISC-V Sample Question #4 — Fluid Reasoning, Matrix Reasoning/ Serial Order Matrices:
Parent, say this to your child: “Do you see the figures inside these boxes? They form a pattern. Choose the figure in the answer row below that continues the pattern.”
WISC-V Sample Question #5 — Working Memory, Digit Span:
Parent, say to your child: “Let’s play a game. I’m going to say some numbers. When I am finished, I want you to repeat them exactly as I said them.” Then, recite the numbers below very clearly with exactly one number per second:
9 – 4 – 2 – 7 – 8 – 0 – 3
Be sure to change your voice register at the end of the series so your child knows it is over and time to repeat the number sequence back to you.
Answers: 2, 4th from left, They are both times in a day, 2, 9-4-2-7-8-0-3

Thank you. We were trying to decide if we should have our bright child who exhibits test anxiety take this test. This made it easy to show her they were just puzzles. Thank you!

My daughter need to go to the exam. want to know how it looks like . Thank
Andrea
What age group would have the questions above? These seem to be for younger children. Surely they are too simple for a 10-12 year old and certainly a 13-16 year old? Can you please give examples of questions that a 10-12 year old might encounter?

If a child has never experienced these type of tests, i.e. and sees a test paper for the first time is it possible that s/he might be taken aback and simply select random answers

Hi Mary –
Thank you for your comment.
This is a very real possibility and why our materials are developed to familiarize children with the concepts on these tests.
All the best,

What age are these questions for. I notice some one else asked you that and you did not answer them.
If I order these can I get a set for preschoolers

Hi Peggy,
The WISC test is an IQ test given to children ages 6.5 and older. For children ages 3-6.5, you would want to use a test called the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence or WPPSI. Located at the top of our Buy Now page, you can unlock the Free 100 Questions and use them as a sample of what we offer. You will have the option to select a grade range, for you child I would suggest the Prek-K option.
Sincerely,
Ryan
