CASAS
CASAS is an American organization that tests adult general and English knowledge. CASAS (Comprehensive Adult Student Assessment System) also provides training in various areas.[1] Some educational systems use the CASAS test for ESL (English as a second language) placement. It used to be called the California Adult Student Assessment System.[2] Sixty agencies in California use the test, including state prisons and county jails.[3] Connecticut bases its testing on CASAS, but calls it the Connecticut Competency System.[4] The New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development also uses the test.[5]
The CASAS Educational Functioning Levels are 1 - Beginning ESL Literacy; 2 - Low Beginning ESL; 3 - High Beginning ESL; 4 - Low Intermediate ESL; 5 - High Intermediate ESL; 6 - Low Advance ESL. This is used for WIA, Title II Funded Programs. [6]
The ABE and ASE levels are 1 - Beginning ABE Literacy; 2 - Beginning Basic Education; 3 - Low Intermediate Basic Education; 4 - High Intermediate Basic Education; 5 - Low Adult Secondary Education; 6 - High Adult Secondary Education. [7]
