TASC Japanese study guide
TASC Japanese · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The TASC (Test Assessing Secondary Completion) is a high school equivalency assessment offered in Japanese, intended for adults and out-of-school youth who did not finish high school and want a credential used for employment, promotion, or entry into college or vocational training. It measures skills normally acquired across four years of secondary schooling in five domains: Reading, Writing, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies. Tasks range from multiple-choice items to constructed and extended responses, so candidates should be ready to explain reasoning in writing, not just select answers. The Japanese version lets candidates who are more comfortable working in Japanese show what they know without a language barrier distorting the result. The TASC Japanese study guide has 5 sections and about 1,822 words.
