CHSPE Practice Test 2026 — Free CHSPE Exam Prep Questions

The CHSPE let California students aged 16 or older earn a Certificate of Proficiency, the legal equivalent of a high school diploma, by showing skills in English-language arts and mathematics. CDE ended the CHSPE in 2023 and replaced it with the California Proficiency Program, so our practice reviews the same core reading, language and high-school math skills these proficiency tests measure.
