Introducing the DRF, new technology to help you administer performance-based assessments!
PAR has improved test administration with the Digital Record Form (DRF), an innovative solution with built in logic that alleviates some of the laboriousness of administering a performance-based test. Spend more time focusing on your client than managing the many administration rules. The DRF allows the clinician to enter data for each item and subtest as administration occurs. Upon completion, the DRF tallies the raw score points for each subtest, which the clinician can then submit for an interpretive or score report.
The DRF is easily integrated into your existing workflow as it simply replaces the printed Record Form. You may still use the same paper or digital stimulus book and paper Response Booklet for unprecedented flexibility in test administration. Choose the combination that is best for you and your client.
PAR’s first test to offer the DRF is the RIAS-2
Free yourself to focus more on your client as you let the DRF guide you through administration of the RIAS-2.
Free training materials will help you easily adapt the DRF into your practice.
Innovative Features

Frequently Asked Question
What is the Digital Record Form?
The Digital Record Form (DRF) is an innovative tool designed to streamline the administration of performance-based tests. It uses built-in logic to progress to age-based start points for each subtest and seamlessly progress through each subtest based on the administration rules (i.e., basal, reverse, and discontinue rules). It simply replaces the printed Record Form; you can continue using your current paper or digital stimulus book. The DRF automatically tallies raw scores for each subtest, which can then be submitted for an interpretive or score report. You can also view a completed DRF at any time and generate a Digital Record Form PDF, which includes all item level information, verbatim responses, and notes, that can be saved or printed for your records.
