Degrees of Reading Power (DRP®) Program Scoring Options

Questar provides complete scoring and reporting services to meet the needs of DRP test users

Because DRP test results describe what students are able to read, Questar can report the results in relation to “real world” performance benchmarks or in relation to literacy standards and goals set by districts. The sample reports shown illustrate this capability.

Questar’s scoring services are designed to be flex­ible. A basic fee covers the scanning and scoring of tests and the printing of one roster of student test results. You select the additional services and reports that best meet your local reporting objectives. Questar offers:

• Scanning, scoring, and standard reports within 15 business days.
• Choice of score reports—including rosters; individual narrative reports, performance charts, students’   labels, and parent reports; and group summary reports and profiles.
• Preprinting of class identification sheets and student information on Standard DRP answer sheets   and barcode labels for Primary DRP booklets.
• Customized score reports, tailored to meet your needs.

Questar’s DRP score reports provide criterion-ref­erenced DRP scores. For Primary and Standard DRP tests, the Instructional level (P=.75) and Independent level (P=.90) DRP scores are usu­ally reported. Certain reports include additional levels of comprehension. Many reports also in­clude national percentile ranks and normal curve equivalents (NCEs). Local norms can be included as an option if the number of students per grade exceeds 100.

Basic Service

A basic fee is charged for scanning, scoring, error resolving, and providing one roster of results for each DRP test administered. Optional services and additional reports may be added. The mini­mum charge per scoring order is $250.

Basic Option 2: Local Percentile Ranks
A minimum of 100 students per grade is needed for this option. National norms are displayed as well, unless otherwise requested.

Basic Option 3: Special Codes

Call Questar for assis­tance in using special codes in the Teacher Use Only field of answer sheets, consumable test booklets, and identification sheets. The minimum charge is $250.

Basic Option 4: Match Student Data
Display student test scores from fall and spring of same year, or match data over two years to produce longitudinal reports. Student score gains may be included on certain score reports. The minimum charge is $250. Call QUESTAR Customer Service for more information.

Additional Optional Services

FREE Preprinting! Questar will preprint school information on Identification Sheets and student names and/or ID numbers on DRP answer sheets at no charge for scoring customers. This will re­duce the work for teachers, speed scoring orders, and eliminate the need for students to “bubble in” their information.

Preprinted barcode labels for Primary DRP ma­chine-scorable booklets are also available, for a small fee.

Please submit school and student data to Questar Scoring Services at least 6 weeks prior to the test date so that the identification sheets and answer sheets or barcode labels can be prepared and mailed to you in sufficient time. Call Questar Cus­tomer Service at (800) 800-2598 for file format specifications.

Return of Answer Documents. Questar Scoring Services retains answer documents for 60 days following completion of scoring and reporting. Schools wishing to have their answer documents returned in bulk must order this service at the same time scoring is ordered.

Results Data CD. Schools and districts requir­ing student test data in an electronic format may order a CD of students’ test results. Data include DRP scores at five levels of comprehension, item response string, national norms, and student in­formation. Data can be easily imported into local database programs, including Excel and Access.
