What is the GED®?

GED® traditionally stands for General Educational Development Test.  After graduating from high school, you will receive a diploma. A diploma is a document stating you’ve completed all the required courses to graduate. Some students in high school are close to finishing and getting a diploma, but don’t quite get there. In those cases, students can take a series of tests that will indicate whether or not they have a high school level of education. This is known as the GED® test. 

The GED®  test covers four subject areas:

• Language Arts
• Mathematics
• Social Studies
• Science

Our  GED® prep course is tailored to meet the specific needs of each student, and it  covers all of the material that students need to know for the GED® exam.
