FAQs

Dedicated to Helping You Succeed

FIND A LOCATION AND REGISTER

Find the Referral Center nearest you to register. After meeting with an experienced Guidance Counselor or Social Worker and taking a placement test, we’ll help you register at one of the 65 sites across the 5 boroughs.

ATTEND AND DO THE WORK

Classes meet during the day and follow the NYC Department of Education school calendar. There are limited late afternoon and evening options. You’ll complete a personal statement, résumé, cover letter, an academic project, and your Individualized Learning Plan. It will take at least 6 weeks, but it could take longer depending on your placement test and how often you attend class.

TAKE THE TEST

In January 2022, the New York State Education Department replaced the  TASC™ with the GED® Test. The GED® test is challenging, but P2G teachers and staff will prepare you to pass it. The exam has 4 sections. While you prepare to pass the GED® test and earn your HSE diploma, the College and Career Resource Center will help you plan your next steps.
