To get started, see Register for Classes (below) for details.
Step 1: Register for Classes
  • Registration is your first step to attend classes. At orientation you will learn more about our classes, the process for taking the TASC exam and you will take a basic math and reading test.
  • The orientation takes 12 hours to complete over three evenings.
  • Please bring a pen, government-issued ID (like a current Driver's License), a Social Security Card and Birth Certificate if you are under 21 years old.
  • See our Orientation Schedule below to get started with classes.
 
If you need to attend an orientation in the morning, call (716) 821-7500 to make an appointment.
 
Taking the Test
Erie 1 BOCES will register its students for the TASC exam. You will be assigned a location, time and date to attend.
How Long Will It Take?
This is the question everyone wants to know.  How long will I have to be in classes until I can take the TASC exam?  The answer is not simple and it is different for everyone.  For some people it takes a couple months and for others, it can take a couple years.  Regular attendance and class participation will help you move through the program at a faster pace.  Your teacher will be able to give you a better answer when you come in for orientation and take a basic math and reading test.
