In which instructional areas should agencies plan to use the Reading GOALS 2 series? The Reading GOALS 2 series will serve Adult Basic Education (ABE) programs. Agencies will be able to use the series in any instructional program that focuses on ABE/ASE.  \n2. How is the Reading GOALS 2 series different from other reading series? Reading GOALS 2 offers tests at five levels, thus enabling the series to cover in greater depth the full range of ability levels in the College and Career Readiness (CCR) Standards for Adult Education (2016) . Reading GOALS 2 measures the academic vocabulary and higher-order thinking skills contained in the Standards. Test content continues to be based on CASAS Competencies to maintain relevance for adult learners, including an emphasis on employment-related topics required by WIOA.  \n3. Which placement test should agencies use with Reading GOALS 2? How long is the test? Both the Form 919R Reading GOALS 2 Appraisal and the Form 920R Reading GOALS 2 Locator accurately place students into the correct pretest. The Form 919R Reading GOALS 2 Appraisal is a 30-minute test available through CASAS eTests and as a paper test. The Form 920R Reading GOALS 2 Locator is a 20-minute test available only through CASAS eTests. The Locator is not available as a paper test.  \nPrograms should choose the Appraisal if it will be used alone for placement and will not be followed up by a pretest.  \n4. What pre-and post-tests does the Reading GOALS 2 series provide and how long do the tests take?  \nThe series provides two parallel forms of pre-and post-tests at each of five test levels. These levels provide necessary placement opportunities to ensure the most accurate diagnostic information to guide reading instruction.  \nReading GOALS 2  \n\n| Level | Form Numbers | Number of Items | Test Time |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Level A | 921R-922R | 33 | 35 minutes |\n| Level B | 923R-924R | 36 | 60 minutes |\n| Level C | 925R-926R | 36 | 70 minutes |\n| Level D | 927R-928R | 36 | 70 minutes |\n| Level E | 929R-930R | 33 | 70 minutes |\n\n*Students must be allowed up to the time listed to complete the test, but most students will finish the test in less time. Students may be given additional time as an accommodation under certain circumstances.  \n5. Which answer sheets should agencies use with the Reading GOALS 2 Appraisal and the Reading GOALS 2 pre-and post-tests? To score tests with TOPSpro Enterprise software: TOPSpro Student Test Record. To score tests manually: General Purpose answer sheet.  \n6. Can agencies pretest with other reading series while transitioning to Reading GOALS 2? No. It is essential that pre-and post-testing always occurs within the same series to ensure test reliability and validity. Agencies cannot pretest students on the current Reading GOALS series and post-test on the new Reading GOALS 2 series.  \n7. If someone scores in the low-end inaccurate range marked with an asterisk (*), what is the policy for retesting? Examinees who score in the inaccurate range do not receive a scale score. Those who score in the inaccurate range of a Level B, C, D, or E test should take the next lower test form to receive a scale score and NRS level.  \n8. If someone scores in the lower-end estimate range marked with an open diamond (􀂡), must the person retest or can agencies use the score? Lower-end estimate scores may be used for pre-and posttesting. Retesting is not required. Some programs may wish to retest students at the next lower test level to see if they might score lower.  \n9. If someone scores in the high-end conservative-estimate range marked with a diamond (􀁩), must the person retest or can agencies use the score? Conservative estimate scores may be used for pre-and post-testing. Retesting is not requi","cbCaiomKkBSCmvdY","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiomKkBSCmvdY","pdf",336119,"English","# Reading GOALS 2 for ABE/ASE\n## Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)\n## Test levels, forms, and timing\n## Placement, scoring, and retesting policies\n## NRS learning gains and scale score ranges\n## Using CASAS eTests and accommodations","[{\"question\":\"Which instructional areas should agencies plan to use the Reading GOALS 2 series?\",\"answer\":\"The Reading GOALS 2 series serves Adult Basic Education (ABE) programs.
