CASAS Practice Test 2026 — Free CASAS Exam Prep Questions
CASAS Reading GOALS 2 and Math GOALS 2 are the tests adult education programs use to place learners and measure their progress across the National Reporting System (NRS) levels, from basic skills to adult secondary. This practice set mirrors their style: short workplace and everyday-life reading passages, plus practical math problems on money, measurement, percents, equations and data.
CASAS format, scoring & key facts
Given by adult education programs on paper or through CASAS eTests. A Locator or Appraisal places each learner into one of five levels (A–E), each with two parallel forms for the pretest and post-test. The tests are not adaptive. A calculator is allowed throughout Math GOALS 2.
