NOTES FOR TEENS WHO ARE NOT CURRENTLY IN SCHOOL

If you are not currently enrolled in school, you must schedule and take an assessment test.

Note that the TABE isn’t a pass or fail test. Instead, it helps program representatives to know which program might be better suited for that individual. If there is a basic skills deficiency, then students may be referred to a basic skills program where they can attend school and work on improving their reading and math scores. They STILL GET PAID for attending school as long as they complete the program successfully.

Deadline for all applicants to either submit a report card or take an assessment test is April 5, 2024.
