Posted here are all GED® prep class locations and testing centers in the Columbia region. South Carolina uses two options for HSE (high school equivalency) testing, the GED and TASC.
The HSE exam offers persons that never graduated high school the opportunity to get hold of an equivalent degree.
The GED test comes with four independent modules (subtests) in Science, Social Studies, Math, and Literacy.
You can take one (or more of the four GED modules at a time. You are not required to complete the four subtests in one take.
The literacy section of the TASC has separate subtests in writing and reading, so five overall, that are also modular.
The GED must be done on a computer while the TASC is offered both on paper and on a computer.
