There have been many assessments to test students with learning disabilities and determine what they need to learn before they leave high school and what they already know. Teacher want to make the move as smooth as possible and take away any surprises.
A common assessment used is the ESTR-J. It doesn't take very long to administer. This test gives the teacher a good basis for what the student wants to do after high school, what they already know, and what they still have to learn.
