  10. 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.

  11. 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.
