BASI

The Basic Achievement Skills Inventory (BASI) is a comprehensive measure of academic achievement for grades 3-12 and adults. The test can be administered individually or in groups in two hours. Also included with the BASI are a summary report and a parent report explaining particular strengths and weaknesses of the client. The BASI can be used to screen for learning disabilities, inform ESL, GED, and other placement decisions, track academic progress, and predict performance on high-stakes tests.
