Must be 18 years old at the time of application 2. Must be a resident of California 3. Must have DMV identification (Social Security number recommended, but not required) 4. Must NOT be enrolled in any regular high school The counseling staff recommends students first take the GED Practice/Diagnostic Test. A period of about three hours is needed to complete the test.

The fee for the actual GED test, payable at the time a testing appointment is arranged, is $125.00. This fee includes the $40.00 required by the State of California for processing and maintaining permanent records. There is a $30.00 fee to retest in any section that is not passed.

At the conclusion of the test, the adult school will send the tests to Educational Testing Services for scoring. The state GED office will issue the High School Equivalency Certificate and mail official records to your home in approximately four to six weeks. Students interested in the GED test can see a counselor to obtain more information.

CAHSEE Exam All high school graduates must pass the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE). The purpose of the CAHSEE is to assess whether students who graduate from high school can demonstrate grade level competency of the state content standards for reading, writing, and mathematics. The CAHSEE has two parts: English-language arts (ELA) and mathematics.

The ELA part addresses state content standards through grade ten. In reading, this includes vocabulary, decoding, comprehension, and analysis of information and literary texts. In writing, this covers writing strategies, applications, and the conventions of English (e.g. grammar, spelling, and punctuation). The mathematics part of the CAHSEE addresses state standards in grades six and seven and Algebra I. The exam includes statistics, data analysis and probability, number sense, measurement and geometry, mathematical reasoning, and algebra. Students are also asked to demonstrate a strong foundation in computation and arithmetic, including working with decimals, fractions, and percents. The exam will be scheduled at various times throughout the year.

The Individualized Study Labs at the Ramona and Rosemead Adult Centers are designed to allow students to study on an individual basis, working at their own level in an independent setting with a teacher. All students entering the High School Diploma Program must see a counselor and take assessment tests prior to enrolling.

One advantage of this program is that students may enroll at any time and make their own daily schedule. All work is completed at school where instructors are available to assist students in all high school subjects. Computers are utilized to enhance student learning and computer lessons are incorporated into many courses.

As each student works at his or her own pace and completes course requirements, credit towards a high school diploma is earned.
