An EA score of 6.9 or below triggers referral to which program?

• A. Vocational Training
• B. GED Preparation
• C. Adult Education Program
• D. Counseling Services

Answer: (C)

A low EA score signals a need for foundational educational support before moving on to other services. When the score is 6.9 or below, the most appropriate referral is to the Adult Education Program because it focuses on building basic literacy, numeracy, and study skills. This creates the necessary educational foundation so the individual can effectively pursue further education or training later on. GED Preparation would come after foundational skills are strengthened, since it targets earning a GED rather than improving core reading, writing, and math abilities. Vocational Training assumes a stronger educational base and specific job skills, while Counseling Services address behavioral or emotional needs rather than educational gaps.
