Directions for Administration
Introduction to the ELPAC Practice Test Directions for Administration
This manual contains directions and the specific scripts you will need to administer practice tests for the English Language Proficiency Assessments for California (ELPAC). It is a companion document to the online practice tests.
The purpose of the ELPAC practice tests is to familiarize students and test examiners with the testing interface, item types, and accessibility resources as well as to provide students with the opportunity to practice a full length test. The practice tests provide a sample of the question types and grade-level content and contain the same number of questions that appear on the ELPAC operational tests. There is an ELPAC practice test available for each grade level/span.
Please note that the practice tests do not produce scores. These practice tests are available all year and may be used at any time in preparation for the operational ELPAC tests.
Practice tests can be administered in one of two ways: • Using the same procedures as the operational tests, with the Test Administrator
Interface, secure browser, and individual student logon information; or
• Using a standard supported web browser to access the practice tests directly, without use of the Test Administrator Interface or secure browser.
For more information on all aspects of the ELPAC, including test security, item types, and guidelines, refer to the ELPAC Test Administration Manual on the Manuals and Instructions web page at https://www.elpac.org/test-administration/instructions/.

READ AND SAY The test examiner finger-sweeps or uses a pencil or pen under text on screen while reading it aloud.
Before administering the test, the following is recommended:• Prepare testing devices and materials for students and examiners.• Check the volume on the student device prior to entering the Student Interface, and
set the volume to MAX prior to logging in.• Select a quiet area to administer the test. Eliminate distractions (e.g., extraneous
noises, windows, clutter, etc.).• Read through the instructions that are specific to each domain (Listening,
Reading, Speaking, and Writing).
Administering a Practice Test Session
The kindergarten through grade 2 test is administered by the test examiner. Each student will be tested individually.
• If you are administering the practice test using the same procedures as the operational tests, confirm that the student has been assigned the correct test settings (designated supports and accommodations) in the Test Operations Management System (TOMS).
*A test examiner does not need to be present to use the ELPAC practice test; however, the term “test examiner” is used in this document to show what a test examiner will do to administer the test.

14 PRACTICE TEST
Listening—Grade 1
Special Directions for Listening
• If headsets are desired, use a splitter to plug in one pair of student headphones and one pair of test examiner headphones so that the student and test examiner can listen to the test together. Point to questions and answer choices at the appropriate time as the test audio plays, and input the answers the student indicates.
• If the student does not answer or gives an answer that is not clear, you may replay the question or say, “Tell/Show me again.”
• If the student does not answer a question, choose No Response (NR).
Beginning the Listening Test
The Listening Practice Test can be administered in several ways. It can be administered as a practice activity by marking the student’s responses in the Student Testing Interface. The Student Testing Interface does not capture the scores or produce a printed report. As an option, the test examiner can both administer the practice test and check the student’s answers. The test examiner may choose to copy the practice score sheet, bubble the answers while administering the test, and then use the scoring keys to check the answers. The Listening Score Sheet is located at the end of this document.
To begin the test, follow the directions in the How to Start a Test Session as a Guest or the How to Start a Practice Test Session Using the Same Procedures as the Operational Tests portion of this document.
15PRACTICE TEST
Listening—Grade 1
When screen Number 1 comes up, SAY Welcome to the Listening section of the ELPAC test.
In this part of the test, you will listen carefully. Then you will tell me your answers to some questions. You will point to your answer or use words to say your answer aloud. If you are unsure of how to respond to a question, just respond the best you can. If you need any questions repeated, just ask. If you are having trouble hearing the test, let me know. You will now begin the Listening questions.
Select [Next] to advance to screen Number 2. Administer the Listening domain. To begin playing the audio for each conversation, story, or information, select the audio player button on the screen. Then, select the audio button on the screen for each question. Point to the question and answer choices while the audio of the test plays. You must select an answer for each question to move on to the next question. After administering Number 5, if there have been no responses or no correct responses you may stop testing in the Listening domain. After the student responds to the last question,
SAY This is the end of the Listening test. Thank you for your attention and hard work.
DIRECTIONS FOR ENDING A TEST • Select [End test] represented by a red square. • Select [Yes] to continue. • Select [Submit test]. • Select [Yes] to submit.

Speaking—Grade 1
Speaking—Test Administration Directions
Speaking Administration—All Speaking Task Types
Subject DirectionsPrompting guidelines See individual questions in this document for prompting guidelines.When to stop the test Refer to stopping markers in this document.Note-taking Note-taking is allowed for all Speaking task types. Students may take notes
on scratch paper.
It is highly recommended that test examiners spend time preparing to administer and score the Speaking domain. The ELPAC includes task types with integrated skills, multiple rubrics, reading of complex academic text, and increased interactions between students and test examiners. The following are suggestions to help prepare for a successful test administration.
• Practice and Modeling: A practice question is included as part of the audio capture so the test examiner may provide feedback to let the student know they are responding correctly. The practice question in the audio capture is “Describe what you are wearing today.” For example, if the student responded to the practice question saying, “A shirt and pants,” the test examiner lets the student know the response was correct. If the student does not successfully respond, the test examiner models a correct response for the student, saying, “You could have said, ‘I am wearing blue pants and a white shirt.’”
• Prompting Guidelines: The prompting guidelines vary for each task type. The words that the test examiner can say are located on the page that is read to the student. Test examiners should be familiar with each task type and the prompting guidelines.
• Oral Reading of Test Questions: Because of the length and complexity of some questions read by the test examiner, it is suggested to practice reading the text out loud several times prior to testing a student.
• Pointing: Some questions require the test examiner to point, as indicated by the icon, while reading the text out loud to the student. This should be rehearsed
prior to the test administration. Do not point to pictures or text unless directed to in this DFA. Test examiners may use the cursor, pencil or pen, or their finger to point.
• Anchors and Rubrics: The test examiner should take time to read through the anchors and scoring rubrics for each test question before testing. Scoring of the Speaking domain occurs as the test is being administered.
• Scoring Practice: Each task type includes training and calibration quizzes in the Moodle Training Site to assist test examiners in listening and scoring student responses. It is highly recommended that test examiners use this resource.
19PRACTICE TEST
Speaking—Grade 1 (cont .)
Prompting and Scoring Guidelines for the Speaking Domain • Prompting—Appropriate Wait Time: The amount of time it takes for students to
respond to a test question varies greatly. Test examiners should allow students enough time to compose their thoughts and prepare a response in English.
• Prompting—Student Answers Question Before Test Examiner Asks: Some students anticipate the next question and start to respond before the test examiner asks the question. The test examiner should not interrupt the student to ask the question. If the student response does not address the question, the test examiner should ask the question.
• Prompting—Repeating the Question: When a student asks or does not respond, you may repeat the question once.
• Prompting—Encouraging Students: Throughout the test, if a student is reluctant or asks for assistance that is not allowed, test examiners should give general encouragement by saying words such as, “It’s OK, do your best,” or “You are doing a good job,” etc.
• Scoring—Self-Correction: Since students respond to test questions fairly quickly, they sometimes change what they say in the middle of a word or sentence. Students who self-correct are not to be penalized; however, if a response is so halting or choppy that meaning is impeded, it may affect the score.
Audio Capture for the Speaking DomainFor the practice test, audio capture is available for practice of the Speaking domain. If your computer does not have a microphone or the settings do not allow audio capture, you may administer the test without recording the student’s responses.
During the operational administration of the Speaking domain, the following guidelines apply to the audio capture tool. The test examiner should score what the student says, not what is recorded. If the following occur, the test examiner may continue to the next question and does not need to rerecord:
• Test examiner forgets to record a response.
• Test examiner records response on the wrong question.
• Test examiner sees a red triangle in the review box when ending the test session.
Use of headsets with a microphone for voice capture is not recommended to enable interaction between the student and test examiner.
Once the test examiner has navigated to the next test question, the audio will not be able to be replayed. The test examiner does not need to replay the student response to confirm the audio capture.

38 PRACTICE TEST
Reading—Grade 1
Special Directions for Reading
• For each question, sweep your finger or pencil under the question and options on the screen as you read and say them aloud. For all questions, you will select the student’s response on the Student Testing Interface.
• For questions that have the options C, IC, and NR, select “C” for a correct response, “IC” for an incorrect response, and “NR” for no response.
• For questions that have the options A, B, and C, do not say the option letters (A, B, C), and do not read “NR” aloud to the student.
• For questions with text options, say, “Tell me your answer,” after you have read the last option.
• For questions with picture options, say, “Point to your answer,” after you have read the question.
• The READ AND SAY symbol indicates text on the student’s screen that you will read aloud as you sweep your finger or pencil underneath.
• When sweeping your finger or pencil under a word, phrase, sentence, or picture, do not cover up any part of the text or picture.
• Pointing: Some questions require the test examiner to point, as indicated by the icon, while reading the text out loud to the student. This should be rehearsed
prior to the test administration. Do not point to pictures or text unless directed to in this DFA. Test examiners may use the cursor, pencil or pen, or their finger to point.
• If there are terms that include a phonetic pronunciation in brackets, pronounce the word as provided in the brackets.
• Refer to the Prompting Guidelines before each task in this DFA.
• If a student looks for confirmation from the test examiner while reading, say, “It’s OK, do your best.”
Beginning the Reading Test
The Reading Practice Test can be administered in several ways. It can be administered as a practice activity by marking the student’s responses in the Student Testing Interface. The Student Testing Interface does not capture the scores or produce a printed report. As an option, the test examiner can both administer the practice test and check the student’s answers. The test examiner may choose to copy the practice score sheet, bubble the answers while administering the test, and then use the scoring keys to check the answers. You must select an answer for each question to move on to the next question. The Reading Scoring Sheet is located at the end of this document.
39PRACTICE TEST
To begin the test, follow the directions in the How to Start a Practice Test Session Using the Same Procedures as the Operational Tests portion of this document or the How to Start a Test Session as a Guest portion of this document.

SAY This is the Reading section of the ELPAC test. In this part of the test, we are going to read together. I will ask you some questions. You will point to your answer or tell me your answer with words. If you are unsure of how to respond to a question, just respond the best you can. If you need me to repeat a question, just ask. You will now begin the Reading questions.
