Inky,
I had him take the DORA last week to give him an idea of what to do (and to give me an idea of where he is in reading). I watched him tale it and the question did get harder as he answered correctly just like the MAP test. I have no worries about him scoring high enough in math as he told my first grader today the answer of 4 x 3 = 12 (she knew it just not as quick as him lol). He needs a 170 in reading and I just cant figure out where that is exactly to know how he will do. He did score very high on DORA. It suggested he work on 5th grade stuff (he is still an emerging reader with lexile around 100- 150)
