High School Diploma Testing Opportunity

COURT HOUSE — The Cape May County Technical School is an approved testing site for the administration of the High School Equivalency Test (HSE), formerly known as the GED, which provides an opportunity for individuals to earn a NJ State endorsed high school diploma by demonstrating competency in five subject areas: Math, Writing, Reading, Science and Social Studies. All HSE testing in NJ is now computer based, allowing for faster access to scores. Applicants must be at least 16 years old, a resident of New Jersey and not currently enrolled in high school. The testing fee for the complete battery is $92.00.
The HSE test is generally administered twice per month at the Cape May County Technical School. Please refer to the school website, www.capemaytech.com for the complete testing schedule. Initial test applicants will be scheduled for an orientation/registration one week prior to the selected testing date. Individuals that would like to schedule a retest in any subject area are not required to attend an orientation. The entire test battery (all five tests) can be completed in two test sessions of approximately 5 hours each. Retest schedules are determined by subject area.
In addition, the CMCTS offers HSE preparation classes, free of charge, for individuals interested in improving their academic skills prior to taking the HSE exam. Classes are available at: the Wildwood One Stop Career Center, and the Atlantic Cape Community College Court House Campus. If you are interested in the HSE preparation program, please contact Betsy Satterfield at 609-380-0200, extension 644.
Individuals that would like additional information about the HSE or who are interested in registering for the HSE at the Cape May County Technical School may visit the Adult Education Office in person, located in Room #145 of the Tozour “100” Building, adjacent to Parking Lot C or call 609-380-0242.
