If a student normally has test questions and test items read to her as part of modifications set in place, can this same modification be used while administering the ISA?
Teachers may read the Mathematical Literacy test questions to students who are unable to do so themselves. Translations of words may be given to non-English-speaking-background students who do not have bilingual dictionaries or other translation devices. Teachers may read the Writing Task A and Writing Task B prompt to students at any time during the session. With regards to the reading assessment, because this is a test of reading, it is inappropriate to read aloud material from the student booklet (apart from practice questions and instructions). Please do not give hints, either about how to approach a question or about what the answer might be. However, if students are uncertain how to show their answers, the teacher may explain this at any time during the test.
