This Online Manual serves to guide Administrators in updating Student, Examiner, and Class information; scheduling DRP Online tests; and generating score reports for the Degrees of Reading Power (DRP) test. For additional information, detailed, topic-specific resource guides can be accessed from the Help tab in the DRP Online Administration system.
All computer workstations intended for use in the administration of the online DRP must have the DRP application logo visible on the desktop prior to testing. Specific instructions on software installation can be found in the DRP Online Resource Guide: Quick Start Guide. If you have any questions, you can contact Questar by phone or email at:

Summary Reports can be produced for all students in a grade within a school and within the district.
These reports show the distribution of student performance grouped by instructional reading levels.
The numbers of test items that assess the three major CCR Anchor Standards reading clusters vary by test level and form for the DRP tests.

The Diagnostic Summary Report shows the test form, number of students, total number of items, and the group’s performance in each of the three CCSS Reading Skills Areas, along with the corresponding interpretive suggestions.

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.

Important: The DRP values shown below are quantitative measures of text difficulty, a critical element of the Common Core Standard's three-part model of text complexity. Quantitative and qualitative indices of text difficulty must be balanced with educators' professional judgment and students' knowledge, interests, and motivation when matching readers and texts.

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.
