Mary,
TABE (Test of Adult Basic Education) is standardized assessment used in GA
adult literacy (and other places I assume).  Using any one of four separate
instruments according to pretest "Locator" results, you can evaluate grade 0
thru 12.9+ skills in Reading, Math Computation, Applied Math, Language, and
Spelling.  TABE has been one of the prime academic reference systems for as
long as I've been in adult lit (since '87) and probably before.
The four separate inst are titled:  E - easy, M - Medium, D - difficult, and
A - advanced and each one involves higher degree of difficulty according to
the grade level they evaluate.

I don't know of a website where you could learn about TABE, but there must be
one. ??
