The TABE Test stands for the abbreviation ‘the Test of Adult Basic Education’ . As the name suggests, the TABE Test is used as an educational tool in a variety of adult educational settings. Basically, the TABE test is an assessment tool which is meant to develop tailor-made educational solutions for a particular, small-sized adult education group.
Since the TABE Test is designed for a small group of adult students, it is very flexible in its administration and can be administered in a variety of settings through a variety of testing modes such as an online computer test, as a test administered through the local intranet or as a paper based test. The test curriculum covers all the topics that are taught in the 1st to the 12th grades of a regular public school. Thus the TABE test helps the adult students to prepare for General Education Diploma (GED) test too.
The TABE test comprises of three tests: reading test; language capability test and basic mathematics test. The reading test is used to test the reading comprehension skills of the test-takers and the language test measures the language proficiency skills of the applicants. Mathematics test measures the applicant’s knowledge on all basic mathematical concepts such as addition, substation, fractions, mathematical formulae etc. TABE Test is normally conducted in English but a Spanish-language version is also available.
Soon after the TABE test, the test-takers are provided with their test reports . The test report shows either ‘PASS’ or ‘FAIL’ status of the applicant and no scores are mentioned. But in ‘FAIL’ report, a test analysis is included to help the students to prepare better for the next exam.
