Step 3: TABE PRE-TEST

Every new student will need to take a few TABE Pre-Tests. (Test of Adult Basic Education)

Similar to a placement exam, this is a requirement of our program and it will test your Reading and Math (GE) or English (ESL) Skills. The results of these tests will be reviewed with you during your one-on-one instructor conference after orientation.

TABE pre- and post-tests provide you and your instructor with valuable information that informs us with what you already know and what areas you will need more work. We encourage you to schedule a time(s) to take that pre-test prior to orientation.

Schedule Pre-Test

You can do this all in one appointment or schedule two and split it up.

You are allotted 3.5 hours for this pre-testing if you choose to do it all together, however you are not required to use the entire time for your testing.
Testing prior to orientation is not required. If you are unable to take the test prior to orientation, time will be available the day of to complete the pre-test.

Step 4: ATTEND NEW STUDENT ORIENTATION

Every new student MUST attend a New Student Orientation prior to beginning Adult Education classes.

See Adult Edcation page for upcoming orientation date. 

PLEASE arrive early to accommodate for parking and locating our building. Late arrivals may be turned away.

In addition to orientation, you will schedule a one-on-one conference with your instructor to go over your TABE results, goals, and expectations for the program.
