How do you score items in matrix reasoning?

Scoring in the matrix reasoning subtest of the WISC-V is based on a simple binary system where each item is scored as either correct or incorrect. Therefore, each response that a child provides is evaluated to determine if it accurately completes the matrix. A correct response earns one point, while an incorrect response earns no points, hence the scoring system ranges from 0 (for incorrect answers) to 1 (for correct answers). This straightforward scoring method emphasizes the child's ability to identify patterns and relationships in visual stimuli, which is a key aspect of their fluid reasoning abilities.
