Your purchased online forms can be used for any of the Conners 4 forms (Conners 4, Conners 4-Short, Conners 4-ADHD Index):

Conners 4

This form is the most comprehensive and is recommended for use in initial evaluations and full re-evaluations.​ This form includes all Conners 4 items and scales. ​

• Parent and Teacher (6–18 years): Conners 4 Parent: Full Length, 117 items; Conners 4 Teacher: Full Length, 109 items.
  
• Self-Report (8–18 years): Conners 4 Self-Report: Full Length, 118 items.

Conners 4–Short

This form is useful when a rater has limited time, or when the rater will be asked to complete the Conners 4 repeatedly (e.g., monthly assessment of treatment response).​ This form takes less time to complete than the full-length form but is not as comprehensive because it has fewer scales and fewer items per scale (for both Content and Impairment & ​Functional Outcome scales).​

• Parent and Teacher (6–18 years): Conners 4 Parent: Short, 53 items; Conners 4 Teacher: Short, 49 items.
• Self-Report (8–18 years): Conners 4 Self-Report: Short, 51 items.
  

Conners 4–ADHD Index

This index can be used as a screener to determine which youth are most likely to require a more comprehensive evaluation.​ The Conners 4–ADHD Index contains 12 items from the full-length form that best differentiate youth diagnosed with ADHD from youth in the general population. ​

• Conners 4 ADHD Index Parent, Teacher: 12
• Conners 4 ADHD Index Self-Report: 12

All Conners 4 Forms provide a Single Rater Report. The Single Rater Report provides detailed information about scores from a single administration, presented numerically, graphically, and within an interpretive summary. A youth’s scores are compared to those in one or more Normative Samples, and optionally, to an ADHD Reference Sample. Also includes a Within-Profile Comparison of the youth’s results to their own average score. Elevations at both the scale and item level are included. Key results are provided in a one-page overview.
