You can also choose to earn your High School Equivalency (HSE) Diploma by passing a free test called the GED. If you are 19, you can take the GED without first enrolling in a HSE course. If you are 17 or 18, you must enroll in an approved HSE course to take the GED, and 17-year-olds need parent or guardian permission to enroll in a course. If you are under 17, you cannot take the GED in NYC.  \nThe GED has four sections: Math, Science, Social Studies, and Reasoning Through Language Arts ( RLA). You must pass all four sections to receive your HSE Diploma. You do not need to take (or pass) all four sections atthe same time.  \nWhere can I find a good GED class?  \nThere are many good, free GED prep classes in NYC. You should never pay for a GED class.  \nThe DOE has free approved HSE classes for people ages 18-21, called P2G. P2Gs are taught by credentialed teachers, offer special education supports, and can help you prepare for [the GED. Check out](the GED. Check out www.p2g.nyc)[ ](the GED. Check out www.p2g.nyc)[www.p2g.nyc](the GED. Check out www.p2g.nyc). The City University of New York (CUNY) and the NYC DOE also offer free adult GED classes.  \nWhat if I already passed a section of the TASC or a high school Regents exam?  \nIf you passed a section of the TASC exam, by scoring 500 or above, you do not need to take that section of the GED to get your HSE diploma. But, if you passed either the TASC Writing or TASC Reading section, but not both, you will need to take the RLA section of the GED. You can find your past TASC scores by logging into your TASC account.  \nSimilarly, if you passed or were exempt from a high school Regents exam, you do not need to take that section of the GED exam. If you’re not sure which Regents you’ve passed or have exemptions for, request a copy of your high school transcript. For more information, see AFC’s guide to Regents exemptions.  \nCan I get an accommodation on the GED?  \nThe GED offers accommodations so that everyone can get the support they need to take the test. Some accommodations are available to everyone, while others are only available for people with documented disabilities.  \nWhat accommodations are available to everyone?  \n• Test in Spanish or English  \n• Large print or Braille  \n• Special lighting  \n• Earplugs  \n• Seat Cushion  \n• Scratch paper  \n• Directions using American Sign Language  \n• Tinted plastic overlays for the paper test  \n• Changes in text color on the computer-based test  \n• Math formula reference sheet  \nIf you would like any of these accommodations, no supporting documents are needed. But, you do need to request the accommodation through your GED account online.  \nWhat accommodations are available only to people with disabilities?  \nDisability accommodations are only available to people with documented disabilities. Below are some of the most common disability accommodations. If you need an accommodation that is not on this list, you should still ask for it. Only 3% of accommodation requests are denied. You need supporting documents to request  \nthese.  \n• Assistive technology (e.g. tablet or computer) to help with writing  \n• Test read aloud  \n• Text-to-Speech software  \n• Breaks  \n• Extra time  \n• Scribe  \n• Special seating or furniture  \n• Small group setting  \n• Private testing room  \nHow do I request an accommodation for my disability?  \nYou need to request accommodations at least 30 days before you take the test. If you are taking a GED prep course, staff at your program can generally walk you through this process. To request disability accommodations on your own, log on to your GED account and create an account on the GED Accommodations Request System.  \nYou will need to upload an IEP, 504 Plan, or medical evaluation that lists (1) your diagnosis,(2) how this diagnosis impacts test taking,(3) and the test accommodations you need.  \nI","cbCaiv0RdL0FopEt","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiv0RdL0FopEt","pdf",302686,"English","# Rocking the GED\n## Eligibility and test sections\n## Finding free GED classes in NYC\n## TASC and Regents exemptions\n## GED accommodations: what’s available\n## How to request accommodations\n## Document recency requirements\n## If documents are outdated or incomplete\n## Questions and contact","[{\"question\":\"Who can take the GED to earn an HSE Diploma in NYC, and are there age-based enrollment rules?\",\"answer\":\"You can return to earn an HSE Diploma until the June after your 21st birthday.
