Karen, thank you so much for this response. You say that WorkKeys is not diagnostic in nature and that you would hesitate to use it as a pre-post test tool. Can you elaborate? I would really, really appreciate it. Melinda Melinda M.

The workforce development folks handle that testing in Indiana. We have found KeyTrain to be a great tool for a variety of folks. You might want to contact someone in Michigan. It seems I heard that they are going to use WorkKeys as a high school exit exam. I would hesitate to use it as a pre-post tool as it is not diagnostic in nature.Karen LimkemannThe Literacy Alliance Fort Wayne, IN From: Melinda Hefner [mailto:mhefner at cccti.edu] Sent: Tuesday, January 09, 2007 5:31 PM To: assessment at nifl.gov Subject: [Assessment 569] Re: Opinions and thoughts about using Work Keysfor Adult Literacy Students oops....sorry for the it's/its!!!!!! :-( >>> "Melinda Hefner" <mhefner at cccti.edu> 01/09/07 4:18 PM >>>I apologize in advance if this duplicates a recent question/discussion, but I hope you will let me know your opinions and thoughts about using Work Keys as an assessment tool for ABE, GED, and Adult High School students.
