What is the reverse rule for figure weights?

The reverse rule for figure weights in the WISC-V states that when answering the items, a test taker must achieve perfect scores on two consecutive items if they have not scored perfectly on preceding items. This structure helps assess a child's ability to solve problems and understand relationships between items under slightly different conditions. It ensures that the motivation to continue answering correctly is maintained and provides a clearer picture of the child’s problem-solving abilities in the context of progressive challenge. If a child fails to achieve perfect scores, the requirement for two consecutive perfect scores serves to reinforce the test's standards for progression through its levels of difficulty.
