In which instructional areas may agencies use the Math GOALS series for NRS reporting?  \nThe U.S. Department of Education (USDOE) has approved the Math GOALS test series for NRS reporting purposes through March 6, 2022, in the instructional program areas of Adult Basic Education (ABE) and Adult Secondary Education (ASE) . CASAS will submit additional data and technical material to extend the approval period.  \n2. How is the Math GOALS series different from the Life Skills Math series?  \nMath GOALS is aligned to the College and Career Readiness (CCR) Standards for Adult Education (2013) and covers the full range of ability levels in the CCR Standards from beginning literacy through adult secondary mathematics. Math GOALS measures the rigorous academic math skills contained in the Standards that are most relevant to preparing adults for success in college, technical training programs, and employment. The series draws on higher-order skills involving basic and advanced math operations, statistics and probability, geometry, and other fields of math. Test content continues to be tested in the context of CASAS Competencies to maintain relevance for adult learners, including an emphasis on work-related math.  \n3. May students use a calculator with Math GOALS? Do they use it for the entire test?  \nStudents may use a calculator throughout the entire math test. CASAS eTests provides an on-screen calculator, while programs that use paper-based tests should provide students with a basic calculator (not a graphing calculator) .  \nStudents may not use a personal calculator nor their cell phone calculator.  \n4. Which locator or appraisal (placement) test should agencies use with Math GOALS? How long do they take?  \nThe Form 104M Math Locator (used only in CASAS eTests) is a 15-minute test with 10 questions. It automatically places the student in the correct pretest level.  \nThe Form 900M Math GOALS Appraisal is a 30-minute test with 20 questions and is the only appraisal appropriate for use with paper-based pre-and posttests in the Math GOALS series.  \n5. What pre-and post-tests does Math GOALS use? How long do the tests take?  \nThe series uses two parallel forms of pre-and post-tests at each of four academic levels: Levels A/B (Forms 913M-914M) and Levels C/D (Forms 917M- 918M) .  \nThe maximum time allowed for Level A/B tests is 60-minutes. Levels D/C allow 75-minutes. Level A/B tests have 40 questions and tests at Level C/D have 38 questions. The national average test time for Math GOALS pre-and post-tests is 43 minutes.  \nThe four levels provide sufficient placement opportunities to provide the most accurate diagnostic information to guide instruction.  \n\n| Math GOALS |  |  | Timing |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| CASAS\u003Cbr>Level | Form\u003Cbr>Number | Number of\u003Cbr>Test Items | Students have up to |\n| A/B | Form 913 | 40 | 60 min. |\n| A/B | Form 914 | 40 | 60 min. |\n| C/D | Form 917 | 38 | 75 min. |\n| C/D | Form 918 | 38 | 75 min. |\n\n6. Which answer sheets should agencies use with the Form 900M Math GOALS Appraisal and the Math GOALS pre-and post-tests?  \nTo score the test with TOPSpro Enterprise: TOPSpro Student Test Record  \nTo score the test manually: General Purpose answer sheet  \n7. When should agencies switch to the Math GOALS series for ABE andASE?  \nPre-and post-testing always must occur within the same test series. If agencies have used a series other than Math GOALS for pretesting, they must use that same series for post-testing. Please note that the Life Skills Math series is no longer approved for NRS reporting.  \n8. If someone scores in the low-end range marked with an asterisk (*), what is the policy for retesting?  \nExaminees who score at the low-end range do not receive a scale score. If a student scores at the low-end range on a Level A/B test, CASAS suggests additional instruction before retesting the student on the alternate Level A/B test ","cbCaiv6Dvnmk76aa","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiv6Dvnmk76aa","pdf",258283,"English","# FAQs\n## Instructional Use and Reporting\n## Test Administration Rules\n## Placement, Appraisals, and Pre/Post Testing\n## Scoring and Answer Sheets\n## Switching Test Series and Retesting Policies\n## Learning Gains and NRS/WIOA Requirements","[{\"question\":\"Where can agencies use the Math GOALS series for NRS reporting?\",\"answer\":\"Agencies may use the Math GOALS test series for NRS reporting in the Adult Basic Education (ABE) and Adult Secondary Education (ASE) instructional program areas, per USDOE approval through March 6, 2022.\"},{\"question\":\"What calculator rules apply to the Math GOALS math test?\",\"answer\":\"Students may use a calculator throughout the entire test.
