The Tutorial helps students explore the DRP Online test environment and enables them to try out the tools available. The Tutorial may be administered in a guided group or students may work through it themselves. It is designed to take about 10 minutes.

qAfter students log in, the Tutorial begins with a brief introduction.

wThe first page of the Tutorial shows a sample item, and the basic tools and functions students need to select their answers and navigate through the test.

eThe next page of the Tutorial describes optional tools.

Questar recommends that all administrators, Examiners, and students take the Tutorial before beginning Practice or operational DRP Tests.

Score Reports



Individual Performance Charts can be produced for all the students in a grade within a school and within the district. They show the distribution of student performance grouped by instructional reading levels according to the three major CCSS reading skills areas:

• Key Ideas & Details

• Craft & Structure

• Integration of Knowledge & Ideas.

The numbers of test items that assess these standards and the student’s raw score on each of these areas are shown.

:edarGE-3 81:tnedutS 3 Date of Test: 01/15/13In January, 18 took a Degrees of Reading Power (DRP) Core Comprehension Test. 18's performance on this test is reported and interpreted in the following table and chart.

Three diagnostic scores indicate the student's comprehension of key ideas and details, knowledge of vocabulary, and analysis of ideas developed within the text. An instructional interpretation is provided to assist teachers in planning appropriate intervention or enrichment: Teach (Introduce), Practice or Apply.

Instructional DRP Scores indicate the most difficult text that a student can read with 70 percent comprehension.Assistance from teachers or parents will be needed for students to read such materials with higher comprehension or to read more difficult texts.Independent DRP Scores indicate the most difficult text that a student can read with 90 percent or higher comprehension.

Examples of the materials which 18 is able to comprehend are shown below. 18's Instructional DRP Score is plotted.

Score Reports



Profile Reports can be produced for all the students in a grade within a school and within the district. They are descriptive and graphic reports designed to provide summary information about the group of students tested. The reports show the distribution of student performance and measures of central tendency (such as mean and median) grouped by reading level as measured in DRP Units and CCSS Grade Levels.

qFrequency Distribution bars indicate how many students scored at each point on the DRP scale.

wDRP Scale of text complexity ranges, in theory, from 0 to 100 units, with higher values indicating more difficult material.

ePerformance Benchmarks show types of materials that students at various levels will be able to comprehend.

rRaw Score is the total number of correct answers.

tDRP Scores represent a group’s reading ability in terms of the average most difficult text that students can read with a given level of comprehension.

yNational Percentile Rank indicates how the group’s performance compares to the performance of students nationally.

uCCSS Text Complexity Expectations indicates the most difficult text students at the reported grade level should be able to read with 70% comprehension to be “on” or “above” grade level and the percent of reported students performing Above, On, or Below Grade Level.

The DRP Core Comprehension Test measures a student's ability to read and understand increasingly complex texts. The ability to construct meaning from text is a prerequisite for doing more advanced work with text, e.g., extending and integrating ideas over multiple texts.

Instructional DRP Scores indicate the most difficult text that students can read with 70 percent comprehension.Assistance from teachers or parents will be needed for students to read such materials with higher comprehension or to read more difficult texts.Independent DRP Scores indicate the most difficult text that students can read with 90 percent or higher comprehension.

Examples of materials which your students are able to comprehend can be obtained from the chart below.Instructional DRP Scores are plotted in the chart below.
