Why We Test
All ABE (Adult Basic Education) students take the CASAS test to measure their reading and math skills. It’s similar to the standardized tests used in K–12 schools.
The government requires us to test students when they start (called a Pre-Test) and again after every 40 hours of learning (called a Post-Test) to track progress.
These tests help us place students in the right class level. The levels range from Level 1 to Level 6:
- Levels 1–3 = elementary school level
- Level 4 = middle school level
- Levels 5–6 = high school level
To join Pre-GED classes, students need to place at Level 4 or higher.
To be GED-ready, students need to score at Level 5 or 6 in either math or reading.
