If the state is going to look at other High School equivalency test options, a very detailed scrutiny of these tests need to occur. The state needs to be certain that each of the tests offered have the same level of academic rigor and are aligned to the College and Career Readiness Standards. If they do not, offering mutliple test options for high-school equivalency may not be the best path for ensuring that those seeking a HSE diploma will be college and career ready once they have passed the exams. Also, if the tests are not at the same academic rigor, then it is unfair to the students who choose to take tests with higher academic rigor to say that they have the equivalent diploma of student who took a test with less academic rigor.
