Career/Technical Program Placement Testing

Depending on the career/technical program, Seminole State College administers the Test for Adult Basic Education (TABE).  Normally, the TABE Survey, Level D (either Form 9 or 10) is provided. TABE Survey, Level A is used for the Licensed Practical Nursing (LPN) program.  Completion of a prescribed remediation program is mandated prior to re-testing for career programs.

Minimum basic skills grade levels in mathematics, language and reading are defined in each career program description adopted under Rule 6A-6.0571. The current catalog's program descriptions provide minimum required TABE scale scores to earn a certificate by program.

Students required to take the TABE are:

• All first-time-in-program students who designate themselves as certificate-seeking in a career program of 450 hours or more.  Such students must complete the TABE examination within the first six weeks of admission into the program.
• All students whose TABE scores are more than 2 years old and have not been used for placement.
• All students whose TABE scores are more than 2 years old and who have had a break in their enrollment of more than one year.

Academic advisors are available to consult with students regarding the many exemptions or alternate ways to satisfy this requirement.
