| 2 In 1996, 2000 and 2005 NAEP allowed testing accommodations
for students with disabilities and for limited English proficient
students. Accommodations may include
extra time, one-on-one administration, use of magnifying equipment,
translation of assessments, or the use of bilingual dictionaries and are
determined by state and district policies. Data for 2005 unaccomodated
testing are not available. |
