The survey battery of the TAP covers the three content areas of reading, written expression, and mathematics and are given to students who wish to declare majors within the School of Education.
All tests are multiple choice.
To register for the test, call Instructional Services at 650-3717. This battery was constructed to help the teacher discover how well individual students and groups can apply what they have been taught about standard written English. Students are required to answer questions that deal with letters, reports, and announcements along with sentence and paragraph analysis. There are questions that deal with identifying mechanical errors and others that go beyond the mechanics of writing and look at the organization and presentation of ideas in terms of diction, clarity, and overall effectiveness of writing. 1.The Vocabulary sub-test is comprised of items that measure students' working vocabulary, free of context clues.
