HIGH SCHOOL EQUIVALENCY TESTS
HIGH SCHOOL EQUIVALENCY TESTS
Students who have reached their 16th birthday may take the California Proficiency Program.
California approved two high school equivalency tests for students 18 years old and older, and 17 years old in some instances, for receiving a California High School Equivalency Certificate - GED® and HiSET®.
Students have to take certain high school courses to be eligible for a University of California (UC) or California State University (CSU). They’re called A-G subject requirements. Meeting A-G requirements are NOT required to graduate from BHS but strongly encouraged.
To count:
You have to pass with a C or better.
The course has to be on your high school’s A-G list.
Find your school’s approved A-G course list or talk to your counselor.
