Which of the following is NOT a purpose of the CELDT?

The chosen answer is accurate because the California English Language Development Test (CELDT) is specifically designed to assess the English language skills of students who are learning English as a second language. Its primary purposes include identifying limited English proficient (LEP) students, determining their level of English proficiency, and evaluating their progress in acquiring English skills over time.

Assessing a student's overall GPA is not one of the objectives of the CELDT. GPA is a measure of academic performance across various subjects and does not directly relate to a student's proficiency in the English language. Therefore, stating that the CELDT is intended for assessing overall GPA fundamentally misrepresents the test's focus and purpose. The emphasis of the CELDT is on language acquisition, making option C the accurate choice for what is NOT a purpose of the test.
