Things You Need to Know About High School Equivalency in NYS
• As of December 31, 2013, the GED exam is no longer available in NYS
• There is no such thing as a “GED Diploma” and there never was. When someone passed the GED test, they earned a High School Equivalency (HSE) diploma, awarded by the NYS Board of Regents. NYS will now use the Test Assessing Secondary Completion (TASC) to award High School Equivalency diplomas.
• The TASC will be free to test takers.
• The TASC is made of 5 content areas – math, science, social studies, writing, and reading.
• The TASC is expected to become more complex over the next three years.
• By 2016, 60% of testing in NY will be computer-based.
Things You Need to Know About High School Equivalency in NYS
• The first time students take the TASC will need to take the whole exam, even if they have already passed some sections of the GED exam.
• Students who received a passing score of 410 of higher on any section of the GED exam (between 2002 and 2013) will receive credit on the TASC for having completed that subject area.
• Students who earned at least a 410 in all five sections of the GED exam, but who did not earn a 2250 total score, will receive a High School Equivalency diploma upon passing any one section of the TASC.
• The roll-over of GED scores will be applicable for up to two years, starting at the end of January 2014.
