GED Classes Chillicothe, Ohio

Listed in this article are all GED prep class locations and test centers in the Chillicothe area. Ohio is using two exams for high school equivalency testing, the HiSET and GED.

The GED and HiSET exams are available online and at official Ohio test centers.

The exams are for adults without a high school diploma and give them the opportunity to get hold of an equivalent educational credential.

The GED must be taken on a computer and has four independent subtests in

• English Language
• Math
• Social Studies
• Science

The GED subtests (or modules) can be taken separately. You don’t have to complete the entire battery in one session. The HiSET is offered in paper and pencil formats.

This option includes five subtests; the section Language Arts has separate reading and writing tests that may also be taken separately.

Our website includes free online GED classes and free GED practice tests to help you start earning your GED diploma today.

If online learning works for you, go ahead with Onsego GED Prep, an affordable, accredited full GED prep course. If you would rather work with an instructor, contact one of the facilities listed on this page.

It used to be that online GED or HiSET testing was no option. It needed to be done at an official Ohio testing site.

Recently, however, that changed with the launch of HiSET and GED online tests. Read more at the bottom of this page.

In Ohio, the Adult Education program is called ASPIRE.
