Test Assessing Secondary Completion

The Test Assessing Secondary Completion, or TASC, was an alternative to a United States high school diploma, that was discontinued on December 31, 2021. It had been chosen by the states of New York and Indiana as a replacement for the GED exam, effective January 2, 2014.[1][2][3][4]

The TASC was created by McGraw-Hill Education and administered by Data Recognition Corp.[5]

As of July 2016, the TASC was approved in 13 states in the US.[6][7][8]
