Test of Adult Basic Education (TABE)

The Tests of Adult Basic Education are norm-referenced tests designed to measure achievement of basic skills commonly found in adult basic education curricula and taught in instructional programs. The content areas are measured in reading, language, mathematics, and spelling. In keeping with current thinking about instruction and assessment, the content stresses the integration and application of specific skills in a context that is meaningful to adults, in everyday life.

The TABE is administered to each adult learner upon entrance into the adult basic education program. The scores are then used to create an SIOA (Student Instructional Objectives and Assignments) for each individual; therefore, the learner has a diagnostic profile that is individualized for his/her strengths and/or weaknesses.

The TABE is also used for entrance screening into certain academic programs. Particular scores are required for each program. Contact the lead instructor for testing times and other information.
