Similar to the GED and HiSET exams, the TASC exam (Test Assessing Secondary Completion) is a high school equivalency test.

In the vast majority of cases, students should pursue a high school diploma. Obtaining a diploma often leads to higher earnings in adulthood and demonstrates to employers that the individual has the ability to tackle and overcome challenges. However, for teenagers who are at least 16 years of age, not currently enrolled in any high school, and do not have a high school diploma, the TASC may be available.
