[LM_NET] Gen: Word count in books RC vs. AR

[Ruie Chehak <Rchehak@AOL.COM>]

I have been comparing reading levels of specific books that have both AR  
quizzes and RC quizzes.  It is interesting to note that the number of words  in 
the titles do not match.  Has anyone else found this to be true?   How can the 
number of words differ if it the same edition of a book?   Doesn't it speak to 
the credibility (or lack there of)  of either of  these programs?  Any 
insights will be greatly appreciated.
 
TIA, Ruie
