Digit Symbol HW question
The scoring instructions for the Digit Symbol coding and Symbol Search both say to score them using a scoring template--are we supposed to have these templates, or is it just assumed that we should just be able to check the work ourselves? If we just check it ourselves, are we supposed to use the templates when we give our WAIS administration later?

There is a scoring template that you can use in scoring actual client protocols. Unfortunately, there are two reasons why using it for this assignment is not a viable option.
First, the homework is from a scanned and reprinted version of the original sheet, and may not match up well with the scoring template. That is, differences in the size of the original form and the scanned form may render the template less useful here.
Second, the template is part of WAIS kit itself, so we only have six of them total.
The inclusion of the template is new to this revision (previous versions required the clinician to score the test without the benefit of a template), so it is not necessary for scoring. It's a nice shortcut that will be useful to you when testing a real client.
