DRA scores ceiling out at 3rd grade for the first test and then there is a second test that covers 4-6. If your child reads above the ceiling level there is no way to tell how much beyond unless they give him the next level test up. Of course if he still ceilings than a different test would be required to determine his level. I do think these tests are not as difficult to score well on as other achievement tests but it can be frustrating when your child ceilings as it gives you little information.
