Understanding the GED
The GED offers adults another pathway to earning a high school equivalency diploma. Learners complete four separate tests in Math, Language Arts, Science, and Social Studies. Because each subject can be taken separately, you can prepare, test, and progress at a pace that works for you.
“Your journey is your own. Do not measure your progress against someone else’s timeline. Own your choices, learn from where you have been, and keep moving toward the life you still deserve to build.” “You are not behind.”
People have earned their high school equivalency through taking the GED test with the GED Testing Service.
According to the GED Testing Service, 98% of colleges and employers accept the GED credential.
