How will the ACCESS for ELLs® be scored?
Sections of the ACCESS for ELLs® will be scored in one of three ways. Speaking: The speaking section will be scored by the test administrator as the student responds.

Reading and Listening: The items for these two sections are all selected response (multiple-choice). They will be machine scored by MetriTech. Writing: This section contains constructed response items where students respond by writing directly on the page. These items will be scored by trained raters at MetriTech.
