Listed in this post are all GED prep class locations and testing facilities in the Columbus, Ohio, region. Ohio uses two options for high school equivalency testing. The GED is one of these options.
Additionally, Ohio welcomed an alternative option for this purpose, the HiSET exam.
The GED and HiSET are available online and at official Ohio HSE (High School Equivalency) test centers.
The exams are for persons who quit high school prematurely and wish to earn an equivalent credential.

The four GED subtests can be taken one at a time and in any order you wish.
The HiSET has five tests that may also be taken separately. The Language part is split up into reading and writing subtests.
It used to be that online HSE testing was not an option. Testing needed to be done at an official Ohio testing site. This has now changed with the introduction of online GED and HiSET exams. Read more below.
Ohio’s Adult Basic Education program is named ASPIRE.

Online GED and HiSET Tests Welcomed
In earlier days, to get hold of your Ohio high school equivalency (HSE) degree, your personal appearance at one of Ohio’s state-approved testing facilities was required. Recently, however, there were some interesting developments with the introduction of online HiSET and GED testing options.
For more information about the recently launched HiSET online test, check out this post: ‘Welcoming the online HiSET test,’ and for more information about the online proctored GED exam, visit this page: ‘Introducing the online GED test.’
