GED Classes Canton, Ohio

Last Updated on April 11, 2024.

This post includes a full listing of GED prep class locations and test facilities in the Canton region. Ohio offers two options to adults looking to earn a high school equivalency diploma: the HiSET and GED tests.

Both exams can be taken online and at state-certified test centers. For more details about the newly launched GED and HiSET online options, check the bottom of this post.

Testing takes place at a level similar to what HS seniors must know upon graduation. The Adult Education program of Ohio is called ASPIRE.

The GED® exam is fully computer-based, while the HiSET® can be taken on a computer or on paper.

The GED (General Education Development) has four individual subject tests that may be taken separately.

The four GED testing content  fields are

• Language Arts
• Math
• Science
• Social Studies

The HiSET has individual reading and writing tests, so five overall, that can be taken separately as well.
