We use the SRI at my school, but if it's not administered with the kids buy in, you won't get accurate scores. Kids that rush through the SRI will not score well at all. I feel the same way about the ISIP from istation. You have to get the kids buy in to want to do their best, because if they blow it off, the data won't be valid.
