This study examined the associations between scores obtained on the Workplace Literacy Test and the Tests of Adult Basic Education for 30 unemployed single mothers mandated to attend an adult education class. These students completed the tests to facilitate educational planning by the course instructor. Test scores were examined using Pearson correlations and a principal components factor analysis. Inter-correlations of scores on the two tests ranged from .25 to .83, with a median of .53. Factor analysis yielded two factors, a general literacy factor and a spelling factor.
