MEET CASAS
CASAS is a system, not one universal exam.
Use the exact series and level your program assigned.
CASAS assessments measure skills such as reading, mathematics, listening, speaking, and writing in contexts tied to education, work, and daily life. Programs may administer tests online or with paper booklets. Different CASAS series serve different learners and reporting needs.

QUICK ANSWERS
CASAS preparation questions.
Is CASAS one test with the same sections for everyone?
No. CASAS offers multiple assessment series for different learner groups and purposes. Ask your program which exact series and level you are taking.
Which CASAS assessment should I study for?
Your instructor or testing center can identify it. ABE/ASE and English-language learning programs may use different series, and specialized assessments serve other needs.
How many questions are on the CASAS test and how long does it take?
There is no single question count or time limit for every CASAS assessment. The format depends on the series, level, and administration. Follow the directions from your program.
Can this page calculate my official CASAS score or placement level?

Are CASAS assessments online or on paper?
CASAS says assessments can be administered online or with paper booklets. Your program determines the format, tools, and current procedures.
