    GED ® Update
    Since 1942 the GED® was the ONLY test that lead to a  High School Equivalency Certificate.
     
    In March 2014 the CA State Board of Education approved TWO NEW exams to
    replace the GED®, the HiSET® and the TASC®.
     
    LAUSD now offers the HiSET® (High School Equivalency Test).
     
     
     
     
    If you pass the HiSET® you will earn your
    California High School Equivalency Certificate.
