HSE Testing Announced at Cape May Tech

The High School Equivalency (HSE) replaced the former GED for the NJ State-Issued High School Diploma in New Jersey as of January 1, 2014. The State of NJ has approved three test vendors for the state endorsed diploma. The Cape May County Technical School is now offering the Test Assessing Secondary Completion, commonly referred to as the TASC. The TASC is currently being offered in paper/pencil format and is scheduled to also be offered in computer format starting in July.
Initial testing is given over the course of two days and the initial test fee is $92.00 for all five subtests: Math, Reading, Science, Social Studies and Writing. Candidates must be a NJ resident and present a government-issued photo ID (driver’s license preferred) and a secondary ID (social security card or birth certificate preferred). If you have additional questions about ID requirements, please contact the testing center. Sixteen and seventeen year olds are required to submit a certificate of consent to participate form, signed by the parent or guardian and proof of withdrawal from the last school attended.
Candidates must register in person one week prior to the anticipated testing date. Candidates that are 16 or 17 years old must be accompanied by a parent/guardian to register. All candidates must bring to the registration a money order or cash (no personal checks) for the initial testing fee of $92.00 and two forms of ID, one a government-issued photo ID along with an original birth certificate or social security card. The regular retest fee is $20.40 per test but examinees are permitted two retests within one year for the discounted rate of $10.00 per test.
Please note that the testing center can only accommodate 15 individuals and all testing is by appointment only. Registration and testing will take place in the Tozour 100 building (188 Crest Haven Road) and candidates should report to the Adult Education Office, room #145.
