The ParaPro Assessment measures the skills and knowledge in reading, writing, and math of prospective and practicing paraprofessionals. It also measures their ability to apply those skills and knowledge when assisting in classroom instruction. It was designed to satisfy the requirements of the federally legislated No Child Left Behind Act. The test is given in a Internet-based format. The test has 90 multiple-choice questions, approximately two-thirds of which focus on basic skills and knowledge. The remaining one-third focuses on applying skills in the classroom. All test questions are in English. Test takers have 2 1/2 hours to complete the test. Testing fee - $45 for ETS testing fee, $10 ROE lab fee = $55 total payable to Lee/Ogle ROE. **Please bring your high school diploma or transcript so you can apply for the free ISBE parapro approval if you score above the Illinois cut score of 460.**
