Why are some 0-point or 1-point responses on the verbal subtests not queried?
It was determined during standardisation that querying certain responses did not result in any additional information. You have the option to query these responses if, based on your clinical judgment, the examinee’s performance on surrounding items, and other test behavior observations, you believe the examinee may be able to improve upon the initial response. However, clearly wrong responses should not be queried. In addition, the responses marked with a (Q) in the manual must be queried.
