Kentucky adopted the W-APT in July 2006 as its official English language proficiency assessment. There are three main purposes for W-APT administration:
• To identify students who may be candidates for English as a second language (ESL) and/or bilingual services
• To determine the academic English language proficiency level of students new to a school or to the U.S. school system in order to determine appropriate levels and amounts of instructional services; and
• To accurately assign students identified as ELLs to one of the three tiers for ACCESS for ELLs.
