How much assistance may a test administrator provide to the ELL?
The guiding principle for administering ACCESS for ELLs is that an accurate assessment of English proficiency not be compromised. It is best that the instructions in the manual be followed closely. If the administrator is vigilant in following those instructions, any other direction from the administrator to the student should be minimal.
