MARYLAND APPROVED ASSESSMENTS WITH THEIR LWIS CODES AND ACCEPTABLE POST-TESTS
CASAS eTests for CASAS approved assessments listed are also approved. LWIS codes for the GED® test (GED®T) and the Official GED® Practice Test (OPT) are located after this approved assessments list. While the GED®T and the OPT cannot be used to determine learner level, programs are required to enter these test scores in LWIS. Exception: GED®T score is not known when LWIS closes for the FY. By entering GED®T and OPT data, programs and DLLR can analyze these tests’ relationships to CASAS assessments and other areas of interest. Programs will also benefit from having a readily available data source of OPT and GED®T results.
