Testing plays a crucial role in assessing students’ skills, knowledge and readiness in adult education and in career fields such as healthcare, automotive, information technology and more! By measuring students’ proficiency and progress we are able to aid and place students’ in the appropriate courses for educational success.

Students are able to test at any of the five campuses (Main, South, West, East or Avalon).

Students should be registered with admissions before coming to test. When arriving to the testing lab please have a valid ID/drivers license.

Personal belongings will be placed in a locker while students are testing. No electronics devices are allowed in the testing area.

Students interested in English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) classes take the CASAS (Comprehensive Adult Student Assessment Systems) assessment for placement. CASAS is used to measure reading and listening comprehension. CASAS is used to place, diagnose, monitor and certify a student's level of English language proficiency. CASAS is not a pass or fail test. This multiple choice assessment monitors student progress throughout the ESOL program.

Students interested in Adult Basic Education (ABE), GED-prep, and CTE Career Courses take the Comprehensive Adult Student Assessment Systems (CASAS) GOALS assessment. CASAS GOALS is a multiple choice, basic skills assessment that is used to determine strengths you have to support you with completing your chosen AGE or CTE program. CASAS GOALS measures student achievement in Reading and Mathematics.
