GED Essay Topics and SamplesWhat is the GED?
The GED diploma or certificate that you obtain after completing the Colorado GED exam is regarded as an equivalency to a high school diploma all over the country by government bodies, employers, and colleges. If you never completed high school, finding suitable work in Colorado will be become a lot easier if you have the GED (General Education Development) diploma.
The GED diploma allows for continued education at college and trade/vocational schools and will substantially improve your employment options. Individuals who hold a secondary education credential (H.S. or GED diploma) are expected to make over $9,500 more annually than those who don’t.
Is the GED exam available online?
No, it is not. Despite all revolutionary technological developments in recent times is there no possibility to take the GED, TASC, or HiSET over the internet. You must come to a designated state-approved HSE testing site, and please beware of false internet sites that claim different solutions. They are fraudulent and their ‘diplomas’ are worthless.
Preparation is key
The GED, TASC, and HiSET program leads to a substitute credential for a high school diploma, and if you hold the Colorado HSE diploma, you have demonstrated that you have the ability to think and operate at the level of a graduating high school senior and that you are able to complete essential and basic assignments. All these qualities are valuable for employers and you can also continue your education at college or university.
You can contact one of the locations listed in this post or find online preparation classes where free study material is offered. Either way, preparation is key if you want to succeed in getting your HSE diploma. Over the past decade, more than 10,000 GED diplomas were issued in Colorado, and you see that the credential remains a valuable stepping stone for college education and a great career path. The state now also offers HSE testing through the TASC and HiSET options.
TASC-HiSET
The state of Colorado also approved two nationally available alternatives (the TASC and HiSET exams) to be used for High School Equivalency testing. These tests are available in both a paper-based and computerized format and have five subtests. The Language Arts (Literacy) portion contains separate tests in writing and reading.
