GED Classes Akron Ohio

In this post, you can find a full listing of GED prep classes and test sites in the Akron region. Ohio uses two options for high school equivalency testing: the GED and HiSET.

The assessments can be taken online or at Ohio’s official test centers.

The exams offer people who did not graduate high school the chance to earn an equivalent degree.

GED® testing is done entirely computer-based, while the HiSET is offered both on paper and on a computer.

The GED has four individual subtests covering

• Language Arts
• Math
• Science
• Social Studies

These sub-exams are independent modules that may be completed separately.

The HiSET includes five tests, as there are two literacy tests (writing and reading). These subtests may also be taken separately.

In earlier days, testing had to be done at an official Ohio testing center. Online GED or HiSET testing was not possible!

However, some interesting developments resulted in online HiSET and GED testing options. Read more below.

Ohio’s Adult Education program is called ASPIRE.
