What’s on the TABE Math Test?

The TABE is used by adult-education programs, community colleges, and employers to measure foundational academic skills. The current version is TABE 11&12, offered at several difficulty levels (E, M, D, and A) so it can meet learners where they are.

The math test covers four areas: Number & Quantity (whole numbers, fractions, decimals, percentages, and ratios), Algebra & Functions (expressions, equations, and patterns), Geometry (area, perimeter, volume, and measurement), and Data Analysis, Statistics & Probability (reading graphs, mean, and probability).

There are roughly 40 questions. A calculator is allowed on the calculator-permitted portion of the test; the rest is computed by hand.

Scoring: the TABE reports a scale score that maps to an estimated grade level, which programs use for placement. There’s no single “pass” — aim for the level your program requires.
