Which age range is appropriate for the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency, Second Edition (BOT-2)?

The test is designed to evaluate motor proficiency across a wide span of childhood and adolescence, with normative data and standardized procedures valid for ages roughly 4 through 21 years (up to about 21 years, 11 months). That range ensures the scores are interpretable against appropriate peers. If someone is younger than 4 or older than about 21, the BOT-2 isn’t standardized for them, so the results wouldn’t provide valid comparisons. Other ranges that start later or end earlier don’t align with the test’s documented coverage.
