It is the most widely used competency-based testing system used in the United States. CASAS has maintained its focus on its original mission — serving adult learners.

The tests measure basic skill and academic achievement in reading, math, and related areas. CASAS supports adult educators and workforce development professionals as they work to facilitate transitioning older youth and adults to postsecondary education, training, and the workforce. CASAS is a nonprofit organization, and its assessments are approved by the US Department of Education and the US Department of Labor.

The diagnostic tests tells you what skills and competencies are an area of need for you. With the help of your instructor, this allows you to set short term goals towards improving and mastering those areas of need.
