The state of New York Offers the TASC test instead of the GED test. Like the GED test, the TASC test awards a high-school equivalency (HSE) certificate. Earning your HSE is easier than you think. Take the steps one at a time.
- Check Your Eligibility: Every state has its own HSE test eligibility requirements. You can find New York's requirements here.
- Learn the Material: Study for the test. You can study on your own, in a local HSE-prep classroom, or online.
- Practice the Material: Establish a quiet study space. Focus your study with a guides or online classes. Check your learning with practice tests.
- Register: When you're ready, schedule your test online.
- Take the Test: On test day, bring a non-expired, government-issued photo ID. All personal items must remain outside of the testing area.
After you pass the test, the State of New York will award you a TASC certificate that will show you have achieved the same level of knowledge as a high school graduate.
How long does it take to go through TASC classes?
It varies by student, but our TASC Academy students complete their coursework in about three months.
I didn't pass. How many times can you take the TASC?
Some states have individual policies about retaking the test, but generally you can take the test three times in a calendar year.

That’s how many have successfully passed their high school equivalency test. So why wait?
LET’S GET STARTED“I faced many situations in my life where a diploma was necessary: to get a better job or to start college. For me to see that most of the stories about the GED test are from people that have overcome incredible situations, such as young pregnancy or any type of situation that would cause them to drop out school… Well, I always thought to myself, 'What was my excuse?' If I can pass the GED test, I’m sure you can too. Right now I’m focused on entering college and studying clinical psychology. There’s just such a great feeling of accomplishment that flows in me. I now know I can do anything!”
