Question about the NCDOC?

So I just applied for the NCDOC as a correctional officer. I happen to get this letter in the mail stating that I would have to take a TABE test and a COVT test. Now the COVT wouldn't be a problem for me but I'm concerned with the TABE test. I hate math with a passion but my reason for asking a question is this, I haven't had any luck with an asvab test for the military at all simply because of all the math and stuff, reading isn't a problem. Can you fail a TABE test for the ncdoc? I mean does that determine if u get hired or not? I would greatly appreciate if there would be no smart answers. Just respect me for coming to you guys and asking. do they look at that TABE to determine if ur hireable or not? Thanks for your help guys
