I guess I have no longer an excuse for being a German
I just got my GED TABE Battery Test Results back.
Language: Capitalization 100 Paragraph Development 100 Writing Conventions 71 Usage 100 (AACK! My excuse just went out the window  )Punctuation 56 ---------------- Average 89 Grade Equivalent 12.9 + National Percentile 93 (pretty darn good, huh? I guess this is almost like actually being a native speaker?) Reading: Construct Meaning 92 (not a 100 so sometimes I'm off LOL  )Words in Context 100 (NOOOO!!!! I need my excuse!!!)Recall Information 93 Evaluate/Extend Meaning 92 Interpret Graphic Information 80 (AHA!) -------------------------------- Average 92 Grade Equivalent 12.9 National Percentile 92 As for Math, I need to brush up my computation skills and learn the English Math Terminology which is why I scored not as well as I should have. As for Applied Math, I got a 10.1 with a 100 in Data Analysis and a 100 in Estimation and let's not talk about the lowest with was Number Operations.  I gave myself until April to take the GED test and signed up for morning and afternoon classes starting next Tuesday.

That is fantastic! I went to school with a woman from Brazil and one from France, both living in this country over 15 years and very well educated in their own country, but still they had a great deal of difficulty at our community college, I know this is not easy. If you do well enough, is a university in your future?

It isn't easy because the Language test is based off of your general vocabulary and not about specialties. There is still a great deal I don't know. In the EMT class I had the problem with the human bodyparts that I had re-learn all of them with the English meaning, just like I am going to have to do with math. |

Yeah, that is how I felt yesterday hahaha because I had no idea what they wanted from me with all those weird terms
But I'll get those skills brushed up. One thing I noticed, from listening to others comparing their results, is that my Language, Reading and Math skills were by far among the best. I was surprised how lowly some of the younger adults scored and thought they were actually good with a score of 8 in Language or not that bad with a score of 3 in Math. I have a score of 6.1 in Math Computation and thought I royally failed because you need at least an 11 to pass the GED. |
