TASC French study guide
TASC French · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The TASC French is a French-language route to a high school equivalency credential for adults who left school before graduating and are more comfortable reading, writing, and reasoning in French than in English. It is designed for candidates who need a credential for employment, promotion, college entry, or military service, and who want to demonstrate skills in their stronger language rather than being held back by English proficiency. The exam spans five subject areas: Reading, Writing, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies. Reading and Writing test comprehension and clear expression in French, including grammar, usage, and extended written response. The TASC French study guide has 5 sections and about 1,572 words.
