Калифорния штатының мектептен ерте шығу емтиханы туралы

Early exit testing program established under California law
Officially, the test was discontinued and replaced by the California Proficiency Program as of June 2023. This was due to the SAT10, the examination the CHSPE was based on, becoming obsolete and the new CPP being based on the HiSET.

While current enrollment in school was not required, testers had to be at least 16 years old or have completed, if not enrolled in their second semester of the 10th grade. Students enrolled in schools outside of California may not register until they are sixteen years of age. There is no upper age limit. Testers had to pay upwards of $230 by the regular registration deadline or more if late, and sit during one or more of the three (two in 2022) exam dates offered a year.

The exam tests individuals based on the high school curriculum in California using a format similar to that of the Stanford Achievement Test (SAT10). Those who have taken the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE), required of all high school students to graduate in California, will find the CHSPE similar in format, but longer in length and with more difficult questions. The CHSPE tests mathematics and English Language Arts (reading and writing) abilities. The English Language Arts section includes grammar and vocabulary questions, and also asks the examinee to write an essay. The math section assesses students on geometry, algebra, and pre algebra. Testers have three and a half hours to complete the exam and are free to divide their time as they wish between the two sections. Because the math and English sections are graded separately and can be passed separately, some students can sit for the exam twice, with three and a half hours for the math section and three and a half hours for English.

The CHSPE mathematics section has 50 multiple choice questions broken into 4 content clusters: number sense and operations; patterns, relationships, and algebra; data, statistics, and probability; and geometry and measurement. and only administered in English, and targeted at homeschoolers and students who desired to legally exit high school before 18 and/or start college early. Others were entertainment industry or agriculture professionals who preferred to start working at an earlier age. In contrast, the GED is for adults 18 or over, who did not graduate high school and is administered in English, Spanish, and French.
