The test items in this booklet are sample life skill items representative of those found in the California Adult Student Assessment System (CASAS) Item Bank. The items are arranged in four sections--A, B, C, and D-- from easy to difficult. A four-digit coding system is used to define each item. The first digit represents the content area: consumer economics, community resources, health, occupational knowledge, or government and law. The second digit represents the competency found within the designated content area. The third digit represents a specific competency statement. The fourth digit represents the task (situation-specific requirement), such as answering questions on information contained in signs, price tags, advertisements, or product labels. The items are arranged by content area and by numerical ordering of the first three digits. (BW)
