Abstract
Two-hundred and twenty-five beginning college students completed the Degrees of Reading Power, Form CP-1A (DRP). The internal-consistency estimate of reliability (KR-20) was .82; the mean score was 52.9; and the scores ranged from a low of 26 to a high of 63 (100%). The DRP scores for a subset of 168 freshmen were correlated positively with Nelson-Denny Reading Test (NDRT) scores (r = .67) and with ACT Composite scores (r = .64), but not with the students' high school grade point averages (r =.10, p < .09). However, the correlation between the DRP and the ND Comprehension test was only .27, and the DRP and the NDRT produced somewhat different predictions of student reading abilities.
