Focus:

Students must pass all parts (English, mathematics, science and social studies) of the College Basic Academic Subjects Examination with a score of 265.

Besides assessing knowledge and skill in the four areas, the CBASE also measures three cross-disciplinary reasoning competencies: interpretive, strategic and adaptive.

Questions on the College BASE reflect the broad range of knowledge that most universities and colleges, including junior and community colleges, expect their students to acquire by the end of the sophomore year. The test emphasizes though processes; broad concepts; and major figures, movements and institutions. Because of the breadth of the examination, you should not study for College BASE the way you do for a test in a specific course. If you have successfully completed a typical lower-division course of study, you should be well-prepared for this examination.
