Read the first 7 Math Goals Scoring flashcards as text

  1. A learner scores 215 on the CASAS Math Goals appraisal. Which NRS Educational Functioning Level does this place them in?

    Answer: Beginning Basic Education (ABE 2)

    A CASAS scaled score of 211–220 corresponds to Beginning Basic Education, which is NRS Level 2 (ABE 2).

  2. What is the primary purpose of the CASAS Math Goals series compared to the CASAS Life Skills math tests?

    Answer: Math Goals targets transition to postsecondary and workforce readiness with academic math standards

    CASAS Math Goals aligns instruction to college and career readiness standards, targeting academic and workforce math skills beyond basic functional life skills.

  3. On CASAS Math Goals, which score band corresponds to High Intermediate Basic Education (ABE 4)?

    Answer: 231–242

    CASAS scaled scores of 231–242 correspond to High Intermediate Basic Education (NRS Level 4 / ABE 4) on the Math Goals scale.

  4. Which score range on CASAS Math Goals is associated with Low Intermediate Basic Education (ABE 3)?

    Answer: 221–230

    NRS Level 3 (ABE 3 / Low Intermediate Basic Education) corresponds to CASAS Math Goals scaled scores of approximately 221–230.

  5. A student's pre-test CASAS Math Goals score is 205 and post-test score is 218. What outcome does this represent for NRS reporting?

    Answer: Educational gain within the same NRS level without level advancement

    Score 205 falls in ABE 1 (≤210) and 218 falls in ABE 2 (211–220), so this represents a one-level NRS advancement from ABE 1 to ABE 2.

  6. Which CASAS Math Goals form level is most appropriate for a learner with an appraisal score of 236?

    Answer: Level D (scores ~231–242)

    CASAS recommends matching the form level to the learner's appraisal score; a score of 236 falls in the Level D range (231–242).

  7. How is NRS educational level advancement determined on CASAS Math Goals for federal accountability reporting?

    Answer: The learner must cross from one NRS score band into the next higher band

    NRS level advancement is determined by crossing into the next score band; band widths vary, so no single fixed point-gain applies to all levels.
