Testing Information
Test Of Adult Basic Education (TABE)
Students seeking admissions into ABE Adult Basic Education/ GED® Prep programs must take the T.A.B.E. (Test for Adult Basic Education).
The results of the TABE are used as a guideline to determine the appropriate course placement and as a guideline for individualized instruction. After taking the TABE test, students complete a registration form and review their career or academic plans with the counselor. At that time, a schedule will be prepared outlining the course of study for the student. If the student meets the requirements for the GED®i-General Education Diploma Integrated option then students may begin technical instruction while also attending ABE/GED® preparatory classes to increase academic skill proficiency and preparation to take the GED® and earn their diploma.
The test is free to prospective ABE/GED® students and $30 for students interested in joining other programs.
Call Student Services to register for testing at (386) 647-4210.
