General Educational Diploma

A General Educational Diploma, or GED, is an internationally recognized high school equivalency testing program targeted at adults. The general educational diploma test consists of a series of five sections that evaluates an adult's skills and understanding in the following:

  • Mathematics
  • Writing Skills
  • Reading Skills
  • Social Studies
  • Applied Science

The general educational diploma tests are designed to measure the skills that would be attained by attending high school. Since many adults have acquired skills through life experiences, at or above a secondary school level, the GED allows these adults to demonstrate these academic abilities that are equivalent to those of high school graduates.
