3 As the test user everything is there in front of you and is presented on your IPad screen. There is no need to flick through manuals for test instructions or scoring guidance, as it is all presented to you exactly when you need it. Emma Turner CPsychol, HCPC Registered Occupational Psychologist

4 Home to some of the worlds most advanced assessment tools. Flexible assessments at your fingertips One of the most exciting features of Q-interactive is its flexibility. As a clinician you can log into Q-interactive and access a library of assessments, choose which subtests you want to administer and the order you want to administer them in. Currently the subtests available can be used to assess domains such as ability, achievement, memory, executive function and language. The Q-interactive library is home to the following assessments: WAIS IV UK Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale - Fourth UK Edition WISC IV UK Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children - Fourth UK Edition CVLT II The California Verbal Learning Test- Second Edition CVLT C The California Verbal Learning Test- Children s Version D KEFS Delis-Kaplan Executive Function System - Selected tests to complement your Q-interactive battery NEPSY-II NEPSY - Second Edition CMS Children s Memory Scale. With many of these tests already familiar to you the content and administration procedures will be recognisable. Once you become familiar with Q-interactive and it s features you will quickly be able to benefit from its ease of usability; giving you more time to focus on your clients and interpret their results. Several of these assessments and subtests at this time require manipulative items or paper response booklets and scoring templates. In the future subtests exclusively developed for Q-interactive will also be available.

6 Focus on the art of psychology Bringing efficiency and adaptability to the forefront of assessment Clinicians using Q-interactive are already benefiting from a variety of benefits, from saving them time, to freeing them up to focus on the intricacies and nuances of clients needs. Efficiency With Q-interactive all of your assessment tools are consolidated in one place. This frees you from having to juggle the various administration materials required for traditional paper-pencil tests. Key features enable you to: Upon completion of a subtest, immediately review results Add additional subtests to your assessment on the fly during the testing session, even if it is from a different assessment. Create and save custom batteries from all available instruments on Q-interactive. Keep all your scores in one database accessible from any web based computer. Built-in timer/stopwatch on screen. Make notes to view later on the ipad and record handwritten responses. Data from a four-month customer review period carried out pre-launch revealed that clinicians using Q-interactive experienced a 30% time saving and a 35% cost saving when compared with using paper and pencil assessments. Customisation Q-interactive allows you to select and tailor assessment batteries to fit the specific needs of your clients. Simply tap on your digital device to choose from a list of the appropriate subtests. You can then save your chosen assessment battery to your list of favourites, making it easier for you to find that assessment and start testing without delay.

7 Q-interactive saves a very significant amount of time with both administration and scoring of assessments and I imagine that this benefit would increase with familiarity. Dr Ben Laskey, Consultant Clinical Psychologist, NCPIP Member Read what else Dr Laskey had to say about Q-interactive by clicking on the Q-interactive logo below.

8 One Giant Leap for Assessment Unprecedented flexibility, portability, convenience and efficiency for you. Familiarity Every new assessment takes time to learn, but with Q-interactive even though the tests are presented in a new digital environment, the content and administration procedures of many of the assessments will be recognisable. Like anything, one must familiarise oneself with the software interface before actually administering the tests with clients, but this isn t an onerous task and simply enables you to feel more confident using it. Emma Turner CPsychol, HCPC Registered Occupational Psychologist Adaptability One of the most exciting features of Q-interactive is that the system lets you adjust your batteries as you see fit, as you re administering them. Clinicians can quickly modify an assessment battery as needed in real time by choosing different assessments and/or subtests than originally planned, mid-administration. Q-interactive offers: Real time scoring of subtests. Calculate scaled scores, composites and comparisons. Verbal responses are recorded and automatically saved alongside the item for reference at a later date. When a reversal or discontinue rule is triggered, the clinician is made aware from a drop down notification. Portability Access to eight different assessments in one place and as more become available these will automatically be available to you for no additional charge.

14 Uncompromised Data Security Keeping client data secure in a digital world Safeguarding client confidentiality, securely backing up your data, and ensuring compliance with the Data Protection Act (DPA) are our highest priorities. Q-interactive upholds the highest industry best practices for data security and encryption; and has already been accepted for use in key NHS Trusts in London. All client information and test data are encrypted and immediately backed up as they transfer between the Internet/Pearson Cloud Server, and Q-interactive s digital devices. Pearson uses one Secure Domain Name service, owned solely by Pearson and is hosted in Toronto, Canada. When users access Q-interactive, they are logging into Pearson directly. Our server is behind a firewall and Secure Socket Layer (SSL), and also encrypted. Q-interactive also encrypts all users Personal Identifying Information (PII). No Pearson employee, besides the primary database administrator, can access user PII (such as passwords) or the records of their clients. This prevents misuse or loss of private data.

15 I was pleasantly surprised by how easy Q-interactive felt to use. It leads you through testing in a very intuitive and accessible way. Dr Ben Laskey, Consultant Clinical Psychologist, NCPIP Member

16 Grounded in solid research All of Q-interactive s tests and subtests are backed by rigorous studies. Q-interactive has a solid foundation of research supporting its use. Prior to inclusion in the Q-interactive assessment library, each new type of subtest undergoes an equivalency study to evaluate whether scores generated via testing with Q-interactive are interchangeable with those generated via testing with our standard paper-and-pencil versions. Currently, raw scores obtained using Q-interactive are interpreted using paper-pencil norms, and the equivalency studies provide support for the validity of this practice. Click on the Q-interactive logo below to access our research page where you can download a PDF of each of the equivalency papers for our latest assessments.
