charge a processing fee that you are responsible for paying. WPS plays no role
in assigning or collecting these duties.
I need to see a sample of the test before I can make a purchasing decision.
Can you help?
If the sample form is not sufficient for you to make a purchasing decision
then you should purchase the test Manual so that you can review all the test
items, normative data, and instructions on how to administer and interpret
the measure. WPS includes sample copies of test forms in most manuals that
we publish (Manuals that include test forms are identified by a () in their
paper catalog listing). Please call WPS customer service at (800) 648-8857
if you are unsure whether or not the manual you are considering contains
sample forms. If the test does not meet your needs you can return it in
salable condition within 90 days for a refund (Shipping and Handling charges
are not refundable.) Before returning any item, please call our Customer
Service Department (800-648-8857) to insure that you are given proper
credit.
