As of January 1, 2022, NYS will no longer offer the high school equivalency test: TASC. NYS Education Department has contracted with GED testing service which will serve as the new NYS High School Equivalency (HSE) Exam. The GED® Test is a well-recognized test of the academic knowledge and skills needed for college and career readiness as defined by NYSED standards for adult education. The GED is currently used in over 40 states and was utilized in New York from the 1940’s until 2013 when they switched to the TASC (Test Assessing Secondary Completion) test.
