TABE: Test of Adult Basic Education

**You will likely not be tutoring for the TABE since it is used to assess a student's knowledge. **

TABE® remains the most comprehensive and reliable academic assessment product in adult basic education. Educators use TABE testing to provide a solid foundation for effectively assessing the skills and knowledge of adult learners. TABE and TABE CLAS–E™ tests combine to provide a flexible system of diagnostic assessments and instructional materials to meet the diverse needs of today's growing adult education market.

The core tests contain selected-response (multiple-choice) items that measure examinee skills in various content areas. Administrators and instructors have the flexibility to test examinees according to a relevant content grade level.

The five levels (L, E, M, D, and A) of TABE 9&10 cover a content grade level range 0 through 12.9.
