TABE 9&10

Building Skills for Life with the New TABE 9&10

More adult education teachers and program administrators choose the Tests of Adult Basic Education (TABE) than any other adult assessment in the country. TABE is a great test, known for its longstanding strengths:

Predicts how a student will perform on the GED (General Educational Development) test
Provides diagnostic and prescriptive information to plan meaningful instruction
Aligns with the curriculum of current adult education programs
Measures the skills adults need to perform effectively on the job and in daily life

TABE 9&10 offers you even more benefits.
Provides updated content that corresponds to the latest national changes in adult education programs and legislation
Matches new national standards for adult skills
Measures skills essential for employability and career advancement
Includes enhancements that educators requested

What's new and different about TABE 9&10?
New content more closely matches the content of the 2002 update of the GED. Even the GED's increased focus on authentic literature is reflected in TABE's engaging content.
New test norms are provided, based solely on adult learner performance.
Advanced-level, criterion-referenced tests in Writing, Social Studies, Science, and Algebra/Geometry link TABE 9&10 even more closely to the new advanced content areas of the GED.
The locator test allows you to match individual skill levels more precisely and provide a better picture of a student's abilities.
A new series of optional tests provides you with more in-depth information about a student's performance in important areas, including Language Mechanics, Vocabulary, and Spelling.
Expanded range of tests measures advanced skills at post-secondary and industrial training levels (through Grade 12.9).
New staff development tools are available that qualify for federal legislative funding, including training tools to help you understand how to administer, score, and report TABE.
New design and illustrations engage and motivate student interest and create an environment for students to do their best.

Use TABE 9&10 to fill a variety of education needs.
Place a student at the proper level in an adult basic education program
Pre- and post-test an individual student to demonstrate progress
Predict performance on the GED
Diagnose the specific strengths and needs of a client/student
Assist in making decisions about training and assignments in employment

Motivate your students to succeed--TABE 9&10 helps you build trust with your students. The new Interview Form and Word List, combined with the Locator Test, allow you to select the reading, mathematics, and language levels that match a student's skills. Selecting the right level makes the test comfortable for even the least literate student and ensures a non-threatening test situation.

TABE 9&10 measures the skills adults need on the job and in daily life. It supports and reinforces adult instruction and integrates the assessment of skills in reading, mathematics, language, vocabulary and spelling into one test.

Additionally, TABE 9&10 offers you an exceptionally versatile system of tests and instructional support materials to fit all your adult educational assessment needs.
