These specific assessments are eligible for use under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) for adult basic education programs. The formal announcement appeared in the May 14, 2026, Federal Register and combines all the current information published to date in one place.\u003Cbr>You can leverage WIOA program funds to use these NRS assessments to report federally required measurable skill gains, alongside providing benefits to your adult learners. The ACT WorkKeys Applied Math and Workplace Documents assessments are the only two assessments eligible for this funding. However, learners can add the Graphic Literacy assessment (for an additional per test fee) to have the opportunity to earn the ACT National Career Readiness Certificate (NCRC) .\u003Cbr>The expectation is that the examinee will pretest, then later post test, so they can show a measurable skill gain. This guide contains instructions for test coordinators to order the appropriate NRS-approved test forms for paper testing, or to assign the appropriate NRS-approved test forms for online testing. You'll also learn how to identify the online test form an examinee tested with and their NRS scores.\u003Cbr>Eligibility |\n| --- |\n| The NRS-approved test forms are to be used only with your adult education testing population.\u003Cbr>Available Formats and Accommodations |\n| Testing options are available for both paper and online testing, as well as with accommodations. Review the ACT WorkKe~~y~~approvedsfAcceormss~~sibility Supports ~~Guide to identify what supports are available when administering the NRSOnline testing options include: standard time, extended time, Text to Speech (TTS), or Screen Reader.\u003Cbr>Note: Screen Reader requires that companion tactile graphics booklets be ordered via the online ordering system. The tactile graphics are labeled with a \"B\" as part of the form number. E.g., J14DH = B14DH.\u003Cbr>Paper testing options include: standard time or extended time.\u003Cbr>National Reporting System-Approved Test Forms |\n\nAdult education programs must use only the approved forms to measure educational gain in the NRS.  \nOnline Testing  \nThe approved forms for online testing are:  \n• Applied Math: 014, 015, 016, 017  \n• Workplace Documents: 018, 019, 020, 021  \nNote: Unless the assessment title within Validus shows \"NRS\" as part of title, it is not an approved form to use.  \nPaper Testing  \nThe approved forms for paper testing are:  \n© 2026 by ACT Education Corp. All rights reserved.  \nQU70037 .CJ24481 | 2026.08.26  \n• Applied Math:J14DH, J15DH, J16DH, J17DH  \n• Workplace Documents: J18 DJ, J19 DJ, J20 DJ, J21DJ  \nNote: Unless the document name includes \"NRS\" as part of title, it is not an approved form to use.  \nTraining Opportunities  \nACT does offer NRS-specific training for test administration. Refer to our Training web page and look for the NRStraining available to test coordinators and proctors.  \nOnline Testing Activities  \nOnline testing is the most common method to test examinees and gain access to scores more quickly. NRSapproved test forms can be added to your online testing platform realm after discussions take place with your contract holders and ACT staff. Once set up, ACT will send the test coordinator an email confirming the NRSapproved forms have been added to your realm and provide you with a link to this documentation and training opportunities. The site coordinator will also have the Validus user role of Registration Manager added to their account.  \nLog In to Your Realm  \n1. In a web browser on the test coordinator's computer, enter the url for your testing realm (e.g. , [https://](ht","cbCais32HVsGEiF8","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCais32HVsGEiF8","pdf",250489,"English","# Summary\n## Eligibility\n## Available Formats and Accommodations\n## Online Testing\n## Paper Testing\n## Training Opportunities\n## Online Testing Activities\n## Log In to Your Realm\n## Search for an Existing User Account\n## Create an Examinee User Account","[{\"question\":\"Which ACT WorkKeys assessments are eligible for NRS reporting and WIOA measurable skill gains?\",\"answer\":\"Applied Math and Workplace Documents are the two assessments eligible for WIOA-funded use for reporting federally required measurable skill gains in the NRS.\"},{\"question\":\"How should test coordinators administer NRS assessments to show measurable skill gains?\",\"answer\":\"The guide expects examinees to take a pretest and later a post test so the program can demonstrate measurable skill gain.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the approved forms for online versus paper testing?\",\"answer\":\"Online forms are Applied Math 014-017 and Workplace Documents 018-021; paper forms are Applied Math J14DH-J17DH and Workplace Documents J18DJ-J21DJ, with approval depending on the presence of “NRS” in the title for valid online and document naming for paper.\"}]","Order and Assign Forms - National Reporting System Quick Start Guide | PDF",1791521652]
