High School Equivalency Exam

|
Vista Adult School is a testing center for two California approved High School
Equivalency (HSE) Exams - the GED and the HiSET. A HSE exam is for adults
who do not have a high school diploma. Those who pass the exam will receive
a California High School Equivalency Certificate. Anyone 18 years of age or
older, or 17 under certain circumstances, is eligible to take a HSE exam. CA
residency and acceptable ID is required to take the exam. Be sure the name
you register for the exam with matches the name on your ID. In addition to
being a testing center, Vista Adult School can help to prepare you to pass
these HSE exams. To enroll, attend a High School Program orientation.
