• ARCS Comparison Profile 10 is part of the Beginners Group. The Beginners Group is made up of two profiles (10-11) whose members scored between Grade Equivalent (GE) 0-2 on the DAR Silent Reading Comprehension subtest.
  
  
• All members of Profile 10 are Native Speakers of English (NSE).

Averages for this Profile 10 group on the five reading components are shown in the table below. You will also see a line graph with the Profile 10 average scores. In both cases (the table and the line graph), all scores except oral reading rate are given in GE. We explain Oral Reading Rate farther down this page--keep scrolling!
