*Important: Basic Skills Test Changes*
As many of you have heard, the Illinois State Board of Education notified institutions that they were making changes to the Illinois Basic Skills Test.
The Basic Skills Test is now called the Test of Academic Proficiency.
If an examinee has previously passed one or more Basic Skills (300) subtests, the passing score(s) will count toward the passing of the Test of Academic Proficiency. However, test scores from the previous ICTS Basic Skills test model (096) (administered prior to September 11, 2010) cannot be applied to fulfill passing requirements.
Like the previous test, you have five attempts in passing all sections of the Test of Academic Proficiency. Previous Basic Skills attempts do not count toward Test of Academic Proficiency attempts.
