If you are scoring the paper/pencil version of the CELSA (for Ability to Benefit), then Celscan is the software of choice. Celscan runs on Window's using Scantron or NCS Opscan scanners. Qualified Assessment Centers can score and electronically deliver results via email. If your school does not qualify as an accredited testing center, there is a mail-in service. Mail in your test forms to ACTT. We will scan and email the results back to you - and mail out a letter to the student directly (self-addressed envelopes supplied by the students). Schools must have a site license with ACTT for delivering the CELSA tests. The person administering the tests must also be approved with ACTT as an accredited test administrator. The mail-in service is an additional $5 per student per test.
The Celscan software scores the CELSA forms 1 & 2, converts raw score to scaled score (required by DOE for ATB), generates ATB student letter and stores record for uploading and annual reporting to publisher (DOE req.). Student answer sheets and scannable answer sheets which must be and can only be used with the Celscan software are available. You can build a mailing address list and populate email-reports automatically. You can create and maintain multiple databases built into Celscan. Scannable answer sheets are available at $64 per pack of 250.
The
Celscan software is affordable at $600.00 a year.
