BEST Plus 3.0 recently received approval from the U.S. ED Office of Technical and Career Education (OCTAE) to be used as an NRS-approved assessment for ESOL Speaking and Listening. All current Massachusetts BEST Plus 2.0 test administrators must certify to administer and score the BEST Plus 3.0 by completing a free, virtual, self-paced test administrator training provided by the test publisher. This training is anticipated to be available in early 2024. Massachusetts BEST Plus 2.0 test administrators who fail to complete the self-paced BEST Plus 3.0 test administrator training will be required to attend a two-day BEST Plus 3.0 training offered by the CEA beginning in August 2024.
