Frequently Asked Questions

What is the TABE 13 and 14 exam?

The TABE 13 and 14 is a diagnostic test that assesses basic skills in reading, math, and language for adults. It helps educators and employers evaluate strengths and weaknesses across skill levels from basic to college-ready, and it's often used in adult education, job training, or career advancement programs.

Who is eligible to administer the TABE test?

Adult educators with a basic understanding of testing principles can administer it, as long as they follow professional standards like keeping materials secure and sticking to the guidelines. No special certification is required beyond that.

What subjects are covered on the TABE test?

The TABE test covers three core subject areas:

  • Reading: Assesses vocabulary, comprehension, and your ability to understand and analyze written passages.
  • Mathematics: Tests computational skills, applied math, and problem-solving in concepts like arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and data analysis.
  • Language: Evaluates grammar, usage, sentence structure, punctuation, and writing mechanics.

What are the different levels of the TABE test (L, E, M, D, A)?

The TABE is not a one-size-fits-all test. It has five levels to accurately assess a wide range of skills:

  • L (Literacy): For very beginning literacy skills.
  • E (Easy): For basic skills.
  • M (Medium): For intermediate skills.
  • D (Difficult): For high school-level skills.
  • A (Advanced): For post-secondary and advanced high school skills.

Your initial placement or a locator test will determine which level you take.

How long does the TABE test take?

The test length varies significantly depending on the battery (format) you take:

  • Complete Battery: The most comprehensive, taking approximately 3 hours.
  • Survey: A shorter version, taking about 1.5 hours.
  • Online Adaptive Tests (TABE 14): The length can vary as the test adapts to your answers, but it is generally efficient.

How is the TABE test scored? What do the scores mean?

TABE scores are reported in several ways:

  • Grade Equivalent (GE): The most common score, indicating a grade level (e.g., 8.5 = eighth grade, fifth month).
  • Scale Score: A standardized number used to track progress across different test levels.
  • Percentile Rank: Shows how you performed compared to a national sample of other test-takers.

A "passing" score is determined by your program's requirements (e.g., entering a trade school, a GED® program, or employment).

How can I prepare for the TABE exam?

The best way to prepare is to:

  • Review fundamental skills in reading, math, and language.
  • Take Prephow practice tests to familiarize yourself with the format and question types.
  • Identify your weak areas and focus your study time there.
  • Use official TABE study guides and preparation books.

How often can I retake the TABE test?

Retake policies are set by the test administrator (e.g., your school, program, or workforce center). Typically, you must wait a certain period (often 3-6 months) before retaking the same level and form of the test to ensure the results are valid and reflect actual learning progress.

Can the TABE 13 & 14 be used as both a pre-test and post-test?

Yes, TABE can be used as both a pre-test and a post-test. Programs typically use it to measure progress over time. When using it for both purposes, it's recommended to use different forms (switching between Form 13 and Form 14) to ensure valid results.

The Prephow TABE 13 and 14 practice tests were instrumental in my success! They really nailed the format, especially in the Mathematics section. Practicing questions on linear equations and ratios/proportions repeatedly built my confidence. For the Reading subtest, the passages focusing on integration of knowledge and ideas were spot-on and prepared me perfectly for the actual exam content. Highly recommended for targeted study.

I felt fully prepared for the TABE 14 after working through these study material. The Language section drills, particularly those covering conventions of standard English and sentence structure, sharpened my skills quickly. I also appreciated the comprehensive coverage of algebraic concepts and geometry in the math prep. Thanks to Prephow, I went into the test knowing exactly what to expect and passed easily!
