Ways to tell them apart:
- Remember that accessible is related to access — if something is accessible, you can reach or enter it.
- Assessable is about assessment — if something is assessable, it can be evaluated or judged.
- Try associating accessible with doors or opportunities, which you can enter or reach.
- Link assessable with exams or tests, as they are evaluated.
- Both words deal with the potential to do something, but one is about entering and the other is about evaluating.
