TASC Italian study guide
TASC Italian · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The TASC Italian is the Italian-language version of the Test Assessing Secondary Completion, a high school equivalency exam for adults and out-of-school youth who did not finish high school. Candidates who pass earn a state-issued high school equivalency credential, which can open doors to employment, military enlistment, job training, and college. The Italian version is designed for candidates who are more comfortable reading, writing, and reasoning in Italian than in English, so that language ability does not become the barrier to demonstrating academic skill. The exam measures five subject areas: Reading, Writing, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies. The TASC Italian study guide has 5 sections and about 1,673 words.
01Reading Comprehension: Main Ideas, Evidence, and Inference
TASC reading questions test whether you can locate information, follow an argument, and distinguish what a passage states from what it merely suggests. You will meet short informational texts, workplace documents, and literary excerpts.
385 words, about 2 min02Writing: Sentence Structure, Conventions, and Clear Organization
TASC writing items ask you to revise and edit. You will choose the best version of a sentence, fix errors in grammar and usage, and improve organization and word choice.
348 words, about 2 min03Mathematics: Number Sense, Algebra, Geometry, and Data
TASC math covers arithmetic with rational numbers, ratios and proportions, percentages, expressions and equations, functions, geometry, measurement, and statistics. Questions are mostly word problems, so translation from language to symbols matters as much as computation.
