CASAS GOALS 2

CASAS GOALS 2 is a two part exam used to assess students' comprehension in math and reading. 

  • For students enrolling in Adult Basic Education (ABE/GED) courses, the CASAS GOALS 2 results assist with placement and monitor academic progress.
  • For students enrolling in Career and Technical Education (CTE) Certificate Programs, the CASAS GOALS 2 is used to demonstrate that the student  has met the basic skills requirements necessary for program completion. 

Your score on the assessment will not prevent you from enrolling in a specific program. CASAS GOALS 2  results help Seminole State provide the support you need to succeed in your program.

You must meet your program's required scores in both sections of the CASAS GOALS 2 exam by the time you complete your coursework in order to earn a degree or diploma. Additionally, by taking the CASAS GOALS 2 assessment, you meet state entry requirements for:

If you are entering a career program that requires minimum CASAS GOALS 2 scores and you meet specific criteria, you may be able to request a BSER Exemption. Check with your career program Advisor to determine if you are eligible. 

Florida law requires you to pass all sections of the designated assessment to be:

  • Admitted without reserve (admitted without conditions) to the program of your choice. If you do not meet your program's requirements, you may still be able to begin the program under certain conditions.
  • Awarded a diploma or certificate of completion.

In most cases, you can still enter a non-credit program if you agree to use Seminole State's support services. To improve your knowledge and skills, you may be required to spend a certain number of hours each week in the College's STAR Center.

The STAR Center staff:

  • Uses materials from your course of study to help you improve your English, math and reading skills.
  • Helps you succeed in your course of study.
  • Prepares you to pass the CASAS GOALS 2.

If you are unsuccessful in one part of the CASAS GOALS 2, you are only required to retake that particular section of the exam. For example, if you pass reading but do not pass math, you only have to retake the math portion.

There are exceptions to this rule. Check with your Seminole State advisor or the Assessment and Testing Department for more information.

If you haven't completed CASAS GOALS 2, you can take it at Testing Center.
