TCE Everyday Adult Standard Reading & Writing · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The Everyday Adult Standard safety net test for Reading, Writing and Communication (in English) is one of three Everyday Adult Standards required for the Tasmanian Certificate of Education (TCE). The TCE recognises skills and capabilities demonstrated at a senior secondary level. To earn the certificate you must complete a minimum of two years of further education and training after Year 10, meet the Participation and Achievement Standard by attaining sufficient TCE credit points (120 credit points in total, including 80 credit points at Level 2 or higher), and demonstrate all three Everyday Adult Standards: Reading, Writing and Communication (in English), Mathematics, and Use of Computers and the Internet. The safety net test gives you an alternative way to meet the Reading, Writing and Communication standard if you do not achieve it through a TASC accredited course that includes the standard with an award of Satisfactory Achievement or higher. The TCE Everyday Adult Standard Reading & Writing case studies are 5 cases and about 2,494 words.
