the areas of electronics, mintenance, and weather. The service
schools were finding it necessary to give these students extra-
curricular instruction in technical terminology. At a Tri-Service ECL
Test Conference at Air Training Comand (ATC) in lS64, a decision was
made to add SET tests to the ECL screening tests.
SET trsts were developed in five specialized ares; electronics,
maintenance, supply, weather, and wdical. Thus, Series 6500 was the
first series of the ECL screening tests that consisted of ECL and SET
tests.
By use of the SET tests, Xilitary Assistance and Advisory Groups
(ELUCs) were alerted to the necessity of prograuming students through
the DLIEL Specialized phase prior to their enrollment in COWS training
courses.
As the result of a ianguage training sumey consucted by DLI upon
its conception in 1966, it was decided to add General Amy and General
Na,cy terlnfnolo,y to the screening tests. lkese txo additional tests
were incorporated into t3e 6700 Series screening tests. Also, several
of the technical training schwls were requested to submit lists of
technical terms along with basic course materials to DLTEL for use in
the development of SET tests. These materials are updated periodically.
The 7200 Series SET tests now in use and the 7400 Series which
will replace the 7200 Series in July 1974, consist of two forms each of
Electronics, Maintenance, Supply, Weather, Xedical Professional, Xedical
Service, General Amy, and General Sary tests that mssure the
comprehension of technical terminology considered essential by the
respective technical training'schwls.
