Welcome to the DRA Diagnostic Profiler
demo
Follow the slideshow to see how, for each pupil, the program calculates chronological age, reading
age, standardised score, and percentile, and produces standardised ratings of reading accuracy,
comprehension, fluency and processing speed. The program analyses comprehension answers and highlights where difficulties might lie, and provides a full report based on the pupil’s test
performance.End

The Comprehension Analysis screen looks more closely at the comprehension questions - on the right hand side of the screen you are shown all the comprehension questions that
were asked about the passages read: you simply check those questions the pupil answered correctly.
