Thanks again aeh - you are a wealth of information.
Your post is interesting because it infers that there is some latitude in the administration/scoring of the test, which is definitively in opposition to what the administrator told me.
As for the late afternoon question, it went like this (she showed me the test and had detailed notes with quotations):
He was read a passage, the story occurred in the late afternoon. He was asked a 2 point question - when did the story occur? He said "in the afternoon" and was given 1 point. She followed up with what "time" in the afternoon? He replied with "I'm not sure. 4:00 or 5:00." She told me this was incorrect and had not given the other point. I'm not one to fight for points but did question whether this wasn't a correct answer since she asked for the "time" - as opposed to asking "when" in the afternoon. She said that per the test instructions she has very specific follow up questions she is allowed to ask. And only very specific answers can be marked as correct. Anyway, it ultimately doesn't really matter. But again, it is interesting because your posting does suggest some latitude is permissible when administering/scoring.
I'm looking at his report now. His Oral Reading Accuracy score was 127 / 96%. His Oral Reading Rate was 160 / >99.9%. Sounds like you are spot on about the rushing.
