GED Classes Bakersfield, California

Last Updated on April 12, 2024.

This is an overview of GED prep facilities and testing locations in the Bakersfield region. California welcomed the computer-based GED test for its High School Equivalency testing program.

Additionally, California embraced the HiSET exam for this purpose, which can be taken both on paper and on a computer.

The GED® and HiSET® tests may be taken online or at one of California’s testing facilities. Read more below.

The exams give persons who never finished high school the opportunity to earn an equivalent diploma. The GED is fully computerized, while the HiSET exam is offered both on computer and on paper.

The GED includes four separate modules (subtests) that cover the academic subject fields of

• Language Arts
• Math
• Social Studies
• Science

The four sub-exams are modular; they can be completed one at a time and in any preferred order.

Get started on the road to your GED diploma with the free GED online classes on this website, featuring 100 of Onsego’s GED video lessons.

Our free GED practice tests allow you to learn about what subject fields you already know and which ones need your attention most.

If you’re fine with online learning, continue with Onsego’s accredited program. If online learning is not for you, check out the sites below.

The HiSET exam comes with individual language writing and language reading tests, so there are five subtests overall that may also be taken separately as well.
