Free WISC-V practice test — Grade 1

10 original WISC-V-style questions for Grade 1, with answers and full explanations. No signup needed.

These free WISC-style reasoning questions practice the kinds of thinking the WISC-V measures — visual puzzles, matrix reasoning, and working with patterns — in a child-friendly format.

The WISC-V is administered one-on-one by a psychologist, so practice here builds comfort with the reasoning styles rather than memorizing answers.
