Test Administrations for ELPAC: Overview

Unlike the CAASPP, the ELPAC has a fixed statewide testing window. Because LEAs are unable to alter the ELPAC testing windows, the test administrations will be view only.

Use the [Admin Calendar] tab on the LEA Test Administrations screen to view a list of administration calendars for test administrations that are associated with the LEA for the ELPAC.

To view the ELPAC test administration:

1. Select LEA to View Test Administration—Select the LEA for which to view the administration calendar.
2. LEA Test Administration(s)—ELPAC Admin Calendar—View the instructional calendar start date and the instructional calendar end date in the Administrations Table on the View and Set Up Administrations screen. Select the [View Summary] link to view the summary information for the corresponding administration.
3. ELPAC Administration Calendar Summary—View the summary information for the ELPAC administration.
