For visual acuity tests in the Massachusetts Battery, when is a child considered to have passed?

If they identify 3 or more symbols
If they correctly identify 4 or more symbols monocularly
If they identify 2 or more symbols with both eyes
If they identify all symbols in one eye only

The correct answer is: If they correctly identify 4 or more symbols monocularly

A child is considered to have passed the visual acuity tests in the Massachusetts Battery when they correctly identify four or more symbols monocularly. This standard ensures that the assessment comprehensively evaluates the child's vision in each individual eye under controlled conditions, which is important for identifying any disparities in visual acuity between the eyes. Achieving this threshold demonstrates sufficient visual capability necessary for various activities, such as reading and recognizing objects, which are essential for a child's development and learning. Identifying a lower number of symbols, such as two or three, does not provide a reliable assessment of visual acuity, as it may not indicate adequate vision for everyday tasks. Furthermore, relying on both eyes can mask issues that might be present in one eye, thus not fully assessing the child’s visual health and capabilities.
