  1. A program director reviews CASAS data showing that 70% of ESL learners did not gain an EFL level. Which action is most appropriate?

    Answer: Analyze which competency areas had the lowest scores to guide curriculum revision

    Disaggregating CASAS score data by competency area reveals specific instructional gaps that can be addressed through targeted curriculum changes.

  2. When using CASAS data for program accountability reporting to the National Reporting System (NRS), which metric is required?

    Answer: Percentage of learners who achieved an EFL gain

    The NRS requires programs to report the percentage of learners who advanced at least one Educational Functioning Level as a primary outcome measure.

  3. A CASAS score report shows a learner's Scale Score of 215. Which instructional implication is most accurate?

    Answer: The learner is functioning at a beginning ESL or low literacy level

    A scale score of 215 falls in the CASAS Level B range (201–220), which corresponds to a beginning-level literacy or ESL instructional level.

  4. What does it mean when two CASAS forms are described as 'parallel forms'?

    Answer: They measure the same content domain at equivalent difficulty and are interchangeable for pre/post testing

    Parallel forms are psychometrically equated versions of a test that measure the same skills at equivalent difficulty, preventing item exposure between pre- and post-testing.

  5. Which CASAS assessment series is most appropriate for measuring the academic reading and math skills required for high school equivalency preparation?

    Answer: CASAS GOALS Math and Reading

    CASAS GOALS assessments target higher-level academic competencies and align with the skills needed for HSE programs and transition to postsecondary education.

  6. A teacher notices that several learners consistently miss items in the Consumer Economics competency area. The best next step is to:

    Answer: Design targeted lessons on budgeting, banking, and consumer rights to address that gap

    Analyzing skill-area weaknesses from CASAS data and responding with targeted instruction is the intended use of competency-based assessment results.

  7. Which CASAS feature allows a test item to be flagged for review during computer-based testing?

    Answer: The learner selects a bookmark or flag option to return to the item before submitting

    CASAS Online's computer-based platform allows learners to flag uncertain items for review before final submission, supporting self-monitoring strategies.
