Important Notice
End-of-Test Series Notification

The CHSPE test series is changing!

Beginning July 2023, the CHSPE will be shifting to the GED® and HiSET® testing formats. The final testing date for the current paper-based test format will be on June 18, 2023. Currently, the CHSPE has three sections of testing: mathematics, reading comprehension, and language arts. You will need to pass any remaining sections of the test prior to the July 1, 2023 transition. If you have not yet earned a Certificate of Proficiency before the July 1, 2023 transition, you will need to begin the testing process again by taking the new test series; sections and subtests previously passed in the current test series will no longer be valid.

There is one remaining testing window to complete the current CHSPE:

• Summer testing window—June 13–18, 2023
