Your answer can be 'yes' if you are certain the answer is 'yes' or 'no' if you are certain the answer is 'no'. If the story doesn't clearly tell youthe answer, you should say 'maybe'.

Discontinue rule: Discontinue testing if the child cannot understand the task after coaching on the practice story or if the child misses all items on two consecutive stories. Repetition: Only allowed during the practice story.
