HSE/TASC

The GED Test of General Education Development was replaced in 2014 with the HighSchool Equivalency (HSE) Program. In New York, the test is called TASC (Test Assessing Secondary Completion) and is available to adults over the age 19 who did not complete high school (students under age 19 must meet eligibility guidelines). The TASC is available in English and Spanish at test preparation centers across the State. The TASC includes five sections to assess knowledge at the high school level in math, writing, reading, social studies, and science. Passing scores from previous GED tests will count toward passing the TASC until 2016.
