GED Classes Bradenton, Florida

Last Updated on April 10, 2024.

On this page, you can find all GED prep facilities and testing sites in the Bradenton region. Florida uses the GED exam for its high school equivalency testing program.

The GED exam is given online and at state-approved test centers, though Florida has suspended online GED testing on 1-10-24. Check below to read more about online GED testing.

The exam gives adults who could not finish high school the chance to earn an equivalent degree.

The GED® exam contains four subtests in these academic fields:

• Math
• Science
• Language
• Social Studies

You have the option to take one (or more) of the four GED subtests at a time and in your preferred order; no need to do it all at once.

The GED test assesses knowledge and skills at a level comparable to those of high school grads.

Online GED Testing

Sitting for the GED test via the Internet was, until recently, never an option. If you wanted to earn a GED, you were required to appear in person at one of Florida’s state-approved GED testing facilities and pass the four GED subtests.

Now, that has changed with the arrival of a new online, proctored GED exam. An online proctor guides you through the entire test-taking process. Visit ‘Introducing the online GED exam’ for detailed information.
