Composite scores should only be calculated with all the grade level appropriate tests administered unless the discontinue/gating rules were followed.
You can find more about this in the Administration and Scoring Guide which can be downloaded from the Testing Materials page https://dibels.uoregon.edu/materials, by clicking on "DOWNLOAD DIBELS MATERIALS" and clicking through the Educational Use Agreement.
Page 130 is where the constants are listed for discontinued and gated administrations.
