Data Recognition Corporation and Aztec Software Announce Partnership to Deliver TABE Edge

New practice solution supports Measurable Skills Gains on the TABE^® test 

MINNEAPOLIS and MORRISTOWN, N.J., April 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Data Recognition Corporation (DRC) and Aztec Software today announced a new partnership to deliver TABE Edge, an aligned and targeted practice tool and study aid that supports growth on the TABE assessments.

Developed by Aztec Software, the nation's leading provider of adult education and workforce preparation solutions, and offered exclusively by DRC, TABE Edge is designed to help learners in adult education programs achieve Measurable Skills Gains in Reading, Mathematics, and Language. TABE Edge targets the same skills measured by the TABE^® test, delivering thousands of practice questions that are fully aligned to the current TABE 13 &14 test blueprints.

"Partnering with Aztec was an easy decision because we share the same goal: giving adult education programs the tools to produce real, measurable learning outcomes—not just more content," said Mike Johnson, DRC's Senior National Sales Manager. "TABE Edge helps adult learners build confidence as they practice skills and prepare for testing, and it gives instructors immediate feedback on how to close skill gaps and improve TABE scores at all levels. This type of efficient, targeted feedback is essential for programs accountable to NRS, WIOA, or state performance goals."

TABE Edge is the only targeted practice solution offered in direct partnership with DRC, the creators of the TABE test.

"Aztec has built its reputation by delivering adult‑education solutions that align tightly to accountability, assessment, and learner outcomes," said Rafa Diaz Martinez, Aztec's Senior Vice President. "Our partnership with DRC allows us to work directly from the source, the designers of TABE, so the practice content programs use truly reflects the structure, rigor, and expectations of TABE 13&14. TABE Edge is not generic test preparation and it is not adapted from K–12 materials. It is deliberately designed for adult learners and the programs that serve them."

Designed for flexibility and scalability, TABE Edge is delivered inside the Aztec Learning System and supports practice and learning on any digital device. For more information on TABE Edge, visit www.tabetest.com.
