Paper-Pencil Testing
There is no longer an option for paper-pencil testing (except for accommodations). Accommodations could include:

  • Having a neurological disorder (such as recent concussion), a condition that causes seizures, or another health condition that prevents the student from accessing the computer
  • Braille/Large Print
  • Adaptive equipment is not compatible
  • Students with disabilities that prevent them from utilizing devices safely may meet this criterion
