Interstate Transferring of Passing TASC™ and/or GED® Test Scores from Other States to New York

The information below is specific to transferring scores from high school equivalency (HSE) tests taken in other states to NYS. If you wish to transfer scores from NYS to another state, you must contact the appropriate HSE diploma credentialing body in that state to determine their process.

Requirements:
  1. Candidates applying for the transfer of passing scores on the GED® Test and/or or the TASC™ Test from other states to NYS must have resided in NYS for at least 30 days and must schedule a subtest at a NYS test center before submitting an Application I. Please see the Requirements to take the GED in NYS.
  2. Application I is used to transfer passing scores for the GED taken in other states to a NYS HSE test taker’s record. The application linked below is required to verify NYS residency, age eligibility to take the test, and permits the merging of out-of-state passing scores into a candidate’s test record.
  3. Online Proctored (OP) testing scores are not accepted in NYS unless approval was provided by the NYSED High School Equivalency Office prior to the test event.
  4. To earn an HSE diploma in NYS the final subtest needed to complete the full battery of passing subtests must be taken and passed at an approved NYS HSE test center delivering the GED Test.
  5. Candidates who previously took and passed GED subtests from the 2002 GED series, and/or took and passed TASC subtests in another state, from 2014-2021, or took the GED test in 2014 or later in any state, may use those passing scores toward meeting the credit requirements for a NYS HSE diploma if the conditions described above are followed.
