On the ELPAC Summative Assessment, which two domain scores are combined to form the Oral Language composite score?
Answer: Listening and Speaking
The Oral Language composite score on the ELPAC Summative is derived from the Listening and Speaking domain scores.
A student receives an Oral Language composite score of 3 and a Written Language composite score of 2 on the ELPAC Summative. What is her overall composite score likely to be?
Answer: 3
The overall composite score is a weighted combination of Oral and Written Language composites, and a mix of 3 and 2 typically yields an overall score of 3.
Which performance level on the ELPAC Summative composite score indicates a student has met reclassification criteria based on English proficiency alone?
Answer: Level 4 – Well Developed
A Level 4 (Well Developed) overall composite score is the ELPAC proficiency criterion used in reclassification decisions.
How does the Written Language composite score on the ELPAC Summative get calculated?
Answer: By combining Reading and Writing domain scores
The Written Language composite combines the Reading and Writing domain scores on the ELPAC Summative Assessment.
On the ELPAC Initial Assessment, composite scores are used primarily to:
Answer: Identify students as English learners and place them appropriately
ELPAC Initial Assessment composite scores are used to identify English learners and inform initial instructional placement decisions.
When comparing ELPAC composite scores across grade spans, which grouping is assessed together?
Answer: Grades K–2, Grades 3–5, Grades 6–8, and Grades 9–12
ELPAC groups students into four grade spans (K–2, 3–5, 6–8, 9–12), with composite scores interpreted within each span.
A student scores at Level 2 on Oral Language and Level 4 on Written Language. Which statement best describes his composite situation?
Answer: His strength in Written Language may not offset a low Oral Language score enough to reach Level 4 overall
Because both Oral and Written Language composites contribute to the overall score, a Level 2 in Oral Language can prevent the student from reaching Level 4 overall despite a high Written Language score.
