Here we list all GED® (in New York: TASC) prep sites and testing centers in Elmira and neighboring area.
New York is using the TASC for the state’s HSE (High School Equivalency) testing program.
The HSE program offers people who quit high school before graduation the opportunity to earn an equivalent degree.
The TASC measures basic knowledge at a level that is expected of a graduating HS senior.
TASC testing occurs through five subtests in these subject areas: math, science, writing, reading, and social studies.
To sit for the TASC, you must show up at a state-approved testing center, there is NO online TASC testing option.
In New York, TASC testing is free but only state residents qualify.

TASC in New York State
New York said goodbye to the GED to introduce the TASC (Test Assessing Secondary Completion). The GED exam was becoming too pricey and is only offered on a computer. The TASC exam can be done both paper-based and on a computer. Check out also this page that has links to all GED-TASC programs in the U.S. More TASC information can be found here: TASC testing in New York.
In New York State, the TASC (Test Assessing Secondary Completion) replaced the GED exam for the state’s high school equivalency (HSE) testing. The TASC program is developed to help persons 19 years of age or older, who, for a number of reasons, never completed their regular high school education. The state picks up the tab for its residents’ HSE testing as one of only four states.
Around 40 million adults in America don’t have a high school diploma, and many of them hope that their ticket to a greater job or higher education is passing the GED (or in New York State the TASC) exam. Critics said the exam was too easy and could hardly be considered any longer the equivalent of a high school diploma.
The GED (originally created to help WWII veterans get good employment and into college) became the fallback opportunity for millions of high school drop-outs. New York State has replaced the GED with a new test, the TASC, in January 2014, and measuring high school equivalency has gained ground again.
