I know the Pres. of our company is amenable to them but so far... no dice. That said, I've no desire to be out on my own for work so I'm quite content to sit in my little cubicle and be socialized, at least for the time being. Mandi, be nice to your husband! He was, after all, a Rice Owl for a year. It's just too bad those Aggies got ahold of him.

Typically those companies only calculate an average estimate. Renaissance Learning scans the entire book for the AR word count, and it has a proprietary formula for the reading level, so the results should be different when using the other numbers.
