TEST PREP HELP
FOR THE TASC
Many individuals who did not have the opportunity to finish high school and obtain their high school diploma know that in order to set themselves up for a strong future, they must complete a high school equivalency test to gain admission to college or to be considered for employment by most employers. At Huntington Learning Center, we are proud to help those planning to take this important step in their lives prepare and perform well on their high school equivalency tests, which will undoubtedly open many doors.
One of the high school equivalency tests many people choose to take is the Test Assessing Secondary Completion (TASC). Huntington's knowledgeable and certified tutors are equipped to prepare individuals of all skills and abilities for the TASC through the use of one of our comprehensive TASC test prep programs.
Understanding the Test Assessing Secondary Completion (TASC)
The TASC is a test that aims to measure adult skill levels in five subjects typically studied during high school, including Mathematics, Reading, Writing, Social Studies, and Science. Available in the United States, Canada, U.S. territories, and Canadian territories, the TASC is accepted by many colleges and employers as an equivalent to the high school diploma. Those taking the TASC have the option to take the test on the computer or in a paper and pencil format.
Huntington’s TASC test prep ensures that all individuals who enter our centers have a full understanding of what to expect come test day. We understand that for those who did not perform well in and complete high school, or for those who have been out of school for quite some time, the thought of taking a test can be nerve-wracking. Our TASC teachers will ensure you are prepared, feeling confident and ready to take the test.
Who is Eligible to take the TASC?
The TASC is designed for individuals who no longer have the opportunity to finish high school and receive their high school diploma. Those for whom the following apply are eligible to take the TASC:
Valid photo identification is required upon registration for the TASC, as well as on the day of the test. Non-U.S. citizens are eligible to take the TASC provided they meet all of the above requirements.
The TASC: What to Expect
The TASC is not an exam that tests memorized facts, details, or definitions, unlike many exams in high school courses. Instead, it takes into account the fact that most test-takers are adults with a wealth of life experiences. Questions are formatted to reflect practical and realistic settings that are relevant to adults' lives, measuring the understanding of broad concepts and generalizations. The exam is typically taken over the course of two or three days, and involves approximately 7 hours and 30 minutes of testing time. The TASC is accepted as a high school equivalency option in California, Indiana, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, West Virginia, and many more states.
