I'm taking the TABE test in a few weeks....has anyone else taken the test? Was it harder or easier than you thought?

Re: TABE Test

has NO ONE taken this test? Most vocational programs require it now.

Re: TABE Test

TABE stands for Test for Adult Basic Education. It's the test my CC gives for folks going into vocational programs. It covers reading comprehension, grammar, spelling and math skills. There's a description and practice test here: http://www.studyguidezone.com/tabetest.htm

In the practice tests I've done, I've aced everything but the math. It covers some algebra and geometry, so that is what I have been reviewing the most. I've been doing some intense math reviewing the last few weeks. The test is today, and I feel ready!

Wish me luck!

Re: TABE Test

Got my tests results! I needed a 10 in every area to pass, and I got 12.9 in every area!

Glad that's out of the way! Now onward and upward!

Re: TABE Test

Never heard of it although it sounds like a GED or some sort of pre req to start M.A class. Do you have a H.S diploma or a GED? curious.

Re: TABE Test

I have a regular high school diploma. Went to high school for four years with way more than enough credits to graduate.

The TABE test was a requirement of my local CC to go into the CMA program (as well as for other vocational programs).

Re: TABE Test

Hi Jenny,

Congrats on your test results. I have only heard of that test at the vocational schools in my area. So you are taking classes at your local community college and had to take this test? I had to take a few placement tests before being admitted to my local college, but sounds like you did great!

Best of luck to you in your studies!
