Comprehensive Adult Student Assessment Systems (CASAS)

The CASAS exam is used to place students into the appropriate level of Miami Dade College’s ESOL Program. It assesses students' competency through a two-part examination, consisting of reading and listening comprehension.

The exam is administered via Paper and Pencil or by Computer (CASAS eTests). The scores are valid for a period of one year.

The test items include:
  • CASAS Life and Work Reading
    Only the reading score is used for placement and promotion.

  • CASAS Life and Work Listening
    The listening score is used to inform instruction.
