The Indiana High School Equivalency Diploma
Indiana offers adults the opportunity to earn a state accredited High School Equivalency Diploma by successfully passing the TASC (Test Assessing Secondary Completion) Exam. The TASC exam is similar to the GED exam in that applicants must meet a minimum score on five different subject sections including Math, Language Arts, Reading, Science, and Social Studies.

The TASC test gives adults the opportunity to achieve their high school diploma.The High School Equivalency (HSE) Diploma is now earned by taking the TASC test and not the GED. Indiana switched from the GED test to the TASC test in 2014.
