California High School Proficiency Examination
California High School Proficiency Examination
The California High School Proficiency Examination (CHSPE) is a test for students who need to verify their high school level skills. In some cases, students take the test and leave high school early to work or attend college. Those who pass the test receive a Certificate of Proficiency, which is equal by law to a California high school diploma, from the State Board of Education.
People who are sixteen years of age or older may take the test. Younger persons who meet other criteria also may take the test. The CHSPE is given at many sites throughout the state. The test covers three subjects: reading, writing, and math. There is a fee to take the test.
- For more information about the CHSPE, contact your school district or visit the CHSPE Website
. - The CHSPE - CalEdFacts page provides a more detailed overview of the exam.
