The TABE test is computerized and therefore will score automatically; you will receive a copy upon completion. You must score an 11.9 or higher on EACH of the five sections to be considered for admission.
If you have failed any section, you are encouraged to study and/or receive tutoring to improve your score. You may retake any low section after two weeks. The first retake is free. Subsequent retakes are $10.00 each. After you have failed any section of the TABE exam 2 times you MUST take a remediation course. You will be required to show proof of remediation prior to retaking the TABE exam again. Courses may be available through DMTC Community Education Program. You are allowed a maximum of 4 opportunities to pass the exam to be eligible for placement on the nursing wait list.
Anyone who must retake a section of the exam must complete their retake within one year. After one year the entire TABE exam must be repeated.
If you have had your name removed from the waitlist for a year or more and you choose to be placed back on the list you will need to repeat the TABE exam.

(FBI fingerprinting, Criminal background checks and drug screening are mandatory components for acceptance into the program.)
