This is a complete listing of GED® prep sites and test centers in the Cleveland, Ohio, area. Ohio is using the fully computerized GED exam for high school equivalency (HSE) testing.
Additionally, Ohio welcomed the HiSET® alternative, an exam that can be done both on paper and on a computer.
We recommend the Online GED Program from Onsego. It’s Simple, Fast & Easy. Onsego Provides Everything You Need To Get Your GED. Learn More.
The HiSET and GED tests can be taken online and at official Ohio HSE test facilities.
If you want to learn more about the newly launched HiSET and GED online tests, check out the information at the bottom of this page.
The HSE testing program is for adults who did not finish their high school curriculum.
This way, they are offered another chance to acquire an equivalent degree.
The GED contains four independent subtests in Literacy, Math, Science, and Social Studies that may be completed one subtest at a time.
The HiSET has two Literacy subtests (writing and reading), so five overall, that can be done separately, too.
