If a GED student scores at least 13-reading, 14 math, and 11-language on the TABE locator, can I use the Official GED Practice Test (L-100-9)?
Yes, but for placement purposes only. Please see the FY 2001 Assessment Policy for further details. 15. The math locator has 18 examples. Four of those examples (22% of the test) are the same percentage problem. Often a person misses all four because of a lack of skill in this area. If this is the student’s only major weakness and he makes a careless mistake or misses an algebra example with operations involving negative numbers (which is not a big component of the GED) he’ll have a score of less than 14 and would be then taking the TABE 7 or 8 before the practice test. Can we allow teacher judgement in these cases? Answer: There are numerous individual situations where common sense will have to be used to make a decision. The policies have been created as a general guide.
