Never finished high school? • Hoping for a better job? • Maybe even a college diploma? • Then, by all means, consider going for your GED!
What is the GED?
Basically, the GED is a second chance. It is a diploma that you can earn by passing the GED test. (GED stands for "General Educational Development.") To pass the test, you show that you can perform at the same level as a high school graduate in:
- Math
- Science
- Social Studies
- Language Arts/Writing
- Language Arts/Reading
The GED is a high school equivalency diploma. That is, it is considered equal to a high school diploma.
