<p>I know that you HAVE to pass the cahsee in order to graduate from highschool, but here's the thing... I am taking the CHSPE(california proficiency exam) in june and if you pass it, its the equivelent of a highschool diploma so you can skip 11th and 12th grade. So my question, since i am taking that test and will most likely pass it since i am studying very hard for it, will I still need to pass the cahsee or can i skip that since i am going straight to college after the CHSPE? Or will the college's not let me in until i take the cahsee even if i passed the CHSPE?</p>

<p>Note: I should have already taken the cahsee but i was sick on that day so i missed it but once i pass the CHSPE I wont be in 11th grade to retake it.</p>

<p>The last make up days are May 8th and 9th for 2012… You still have time to take it, but you’d have to schedule ASAP. </p>

<p>I took the CHSPE also, but I had already taken the CAHSEE. I would probably call someone at the state education office to find out if it’s necessary. Wouldn’t want that to hinder your graduation…</p>
