Introduction

The tests that make up CAASPP are to be administered online, as computer-based assessments. California’s LEAs have made computer-based testing available to all students, as required in 5 CCR, Section 853(b) for CAASPP. However, in some situations, students may face barriers when taking a computer-based assessment.

If any student in the LEA faces such barriers to accessing computer-based assessments, such as a student whose IEP or Section 504 plan requires the student be tested using a braille, large-print, or general PPT, please complete the online form on the CAASPP and ELPAC Special Request for Paper Exams web page. A request for any braille, large-print, and emergency PPT materials requires use of this form. The CDE and the ETS CAASPP team will review and respond to each request. For any questions about requesting PPT materials, please contact the LEA’s assigned Success Agent.
