The Tests of Adult Basic Education (TABE) are norm-referenced tests designed to measure achievement of basic skills commonly found in adult basic education curricula and taught in instructional programs. The content areas measured are reading, language, mathematics, and spelling. In keeping with current thinking about instruction and assessment, the content stresses the integration and application of specific skills in a context that is meaningful to adults.

At this time, the TABE survey assessment is a requirement only for Delgado’s Veterans Upward Bound program. For additional information and registration for this test please contact the VUB department.
