TTS volume, rate, and pitch
TTS tracking
Color contrast
Mouse pointer
The embedded text-to-speech accommodation is no longer available in the Listening domain.

Initial ELPAC Forms
The Initial ELPAC has been refreshed for 2025–26 testing.

The restored title is RSVP for the Initial ELPAC. This page still includes all RSVP-related content, including the list of LEAs assigned to participate in the RSVP.
Second scoring content has been deleted.
Test Administration Functionality
