TABE Test History

For 55 years, TABE has been a well-respected assessment tool for use in adult education. Today, TABE remains the most comprehensive and reliable assessment product in the education industry, providing a solid foundation for effectively assessing the skills and knowledge of adult learners. TABE’s history of achievement began in 1967,” and since that time we have delivered six editions of the TABE test—TABE 1&2, 3&4, 5&6, 7&8, 9&10, 11&12—and have expanded the TABE product family to include web-based administration (TABE Online), English language proficiency assessment (TABE CLAS-E), and solutions to improve instructor effectiveness and student achievement (TABE Professional Development).
