Math GOALS 2
Grade Level Equivalents
CASAS provides Grade Level Equivalents (GLEs) for agencies that need them to satisfy federal or state
reporting requirements. CASAS derived the Grade Level Equivalents from the College and Career Readiness
Standards for Adult Education (CCRS). Due to the alignment of the NRS Educational Functioning Level
Descriptors for Adult Basic Education (ABE) to the CCRS, CASAS was able to map the Math GOALS 2 scale score
ranges for each NRS level to different grade levels. This correlation is provided in the table below.
