How many seconds are given for items 2-5 on the BD assessment?

For items 2-5 on the Block Design (BD) subtest of the WISC-V assessment, a time limit of 45 seconds is provided. This duration is designed to encourage the child to engage with the task briskly, allowing for an efficient assessment of their visual-spatial ability and problem-solving skills. The opportunity to complete the designs within this time frame reflects both the complexity of the tasks and the age-appropriate expectations associated with cognitive processing speed. Understanding this time constraint can help practitioners accurately gauge a child’s performance and adaptability during the test.
