Degrees of Reading Power
Also known as the DRP, this is one of the parts from the reading section. Students must read through passages which have blanks in them. They must then choose the correct answer to fill in the blank from a choice of options: a, b, c, d, or e. As the student reads on, he/she will find that the passages become more difficult to understand and may come to a point where he/she must guess the correct answer. Students must fill in 49 answers (seven questions per passage, seven passages) in the DRP section of the test booklets. The workbook is not looked over by professionals. Instead, it is put through a machine. This test is 60 minutes long.
