The TABE is one of the assessments listed.  In Tennessee, a small group of 
practitioners were involved in an Action Research Grant for the purpose of 
piloting some of the standardized assessment tools in the workplace.  One 
of the instruments they tried was the TABE-Work-Related Foundation Skills, 
which most of them liked - as did their students.  I am wondering if this 
is one that might be used to meet the NRS requirements.
