It takes approximately 25 minutes for the client to complete the test, but only 2 to 3 minutes to enter the data (answers) into the computer. Reports are available to print on-site immediately.
On your Computer. Administer Test to Client: Select this option if you wish to have the client take the test directly on the computer screen. Clients sit at your computer and read and answer the questions one by one. After the client completes the test, the report is ready to print, every test is computer scored for accuracy.
Human Voice Audio: Human Voice Audio is available at no additional cost to BDS (and its subsidiaries) test users. Human Voice Audio (HVA) helps respondents overcome many test-related reading impairments and cultural-related issues. HVA is available in English and Spanish. In brief, one’s passive vocabulary (what a person hears and understands) is usually greater than their active (spoken) vocabulary. Having test instructions, questions and answers read out loud in the client’s (patient/offender’s) native or dominant language helps reduce communication and cultural issues. Each question (or answer) is highlighted on the computer screen (monitor) as it is simultaneously read to the client in English or Spanish. The client can go back-and-forth as many times as needed for clarification. When the client selects their answer, the program advances to the next question.
