What is the TABE test? Will it tell me if I can pass the GED?
The TABE test is the Test of Adult Basic Education and it provides a general overview of your ability in the areas of language skills, reading, and math. It provides a grade level equivalency. It is one indicator of how well you can do on the GED (one of many your instructor will use), but it is not a guarantee either that you would do badly or that you would do well on the official GED test. You will not be offered an evaluation of your performance on the TABE tests during the orientation. This is something you and your instructor will discuss once you are placed into a class. Please remember with all tests, one test score is a general indicator and not the final answer/authority on your ability or predictor of future performance. It is only one piece of information about your math, language, and reading skills.
