The CHSPE (California High School Proficiency Exam) allows California high school pupils to earn a credential that is a valid substitute for a high school diploma. Test takers can benefit from early access to community colleges or certain jobs requiring a high school diploma by taking the exam as early as the tenth grade. A representative from the Sacramento County Office of Education stated that the homeschool community has utilized this program and has a very high test-taking success rate.
The test is open to anyone who is 16 years of age or older. The exam is also open to younger individuals who fulfill additional requirements. In California, this test is administered twice a year at numerous locations. Three topics are covered in the exam: math, reading, and writing. The test has an admission charge.
Test-takers who pass the exam will receive a Certificate of Proficiency, which is the same as a high school diploma. State law mandates that the Certificate of Proficiency be accepted instead of a high school diploma by any Californian institution. The following outcomes result from accepting the Certificate of Proficiency:
Let’s take an overview of our practice examination.
Overall, when it comes to the homepage of our website, what catches your eyes, at first sight, are two main sections: “Practice CHSPE Test By Topics” and “Take Full CHSPE Practice Test”. To meet the learners’ needs, the former functions as learning materials that are categorized into different topics or domains covering nearly CHSPE knowledge for practice. The latter mimics the real exam to check learners’ outcomes and create a chance for a mock test before taking the real one.
The CHSPE practice includes a combination of multiple-choice questions, divided into 3 core sections:
Within each section, there are 7 levels and 2 tests, divided into 2 stages. Stage 1 includes the first 3 levels and a mini-test. Stage 2 includes 4 remaining levels and a final test. Each level includes 10 multiple-choice questions. The mini-test comprises 30 questions covering knowledge of the whole first stage. The final test comprises 70 questions covering knowledge of the whole topic.
Remember! Our results recording system will notify you of the results you have achieved after your first attempt, for example, 6/10. However, you must answer all questions correctly to be allowed to move to the next level. Hence, you are allowed to do it again more than once and the false questions will automatically return until you correct all of them. Of course, if you are confident in any topic, you can skip levels and move to the mini-test or the final test immediately. The scaled score of the CHSPE test is between 250 and 450. For each Mathematics and Reading subtest, the scoring requirement is 350. The English language arts subtest's final score is calculated using a combination of a scaled scoring method for multiple-choice questions and a bespoke writing task scoring system.
An extremely appreciated feature of our website is that after each question in the practice section, learners will immediately know whether their results are correct or incorrect. Furthermore, there will be an extremely detailed explanation for the question, which is right below the question section.
After practicing proficiently in the practice section introduced above, learners can choose a "full test" to check their current level. The CHSPE simulates the real exam format.
The test includes 90 multiple-choice questions within 105 minutes. Contestants will take the test within the allotted time frame. The clock placed right above the question section helps test takers be proactive in managing their exam time.
An outstanding feature is that test takers will not immediately know the results of each question in this part like in the practice one. After completing all the questions and receiving the final results, test takers will have the opportunity to review all the questions to see which ones they got right and which ones they got wrong. Detailed explanations for the answers are also attached right below each question. This helps test takers review knowledge more deeply and gain experience for the next test, especially in the real exam.
For convenience of use, we also released a mobile version of the application. Operations in the phone application remain the same as on the website. The only difference is that after completing the questions, you must click “Submit” to receive the final results of the test.
