GED Classes Detroit, Michigan

Last Updated on February 27, 2024.

Posted here are all GED prep class sites and testing locations in the Detroit area. Michigan offers two options for high school equivalency testing: the GED and HiSET exams.

Both tests are available online and at official test centers. Check below to learn more about online HiSET and GED testing.

The GED® and HiSET® exams offer people who never finished high school one more shot at obtaining an equivalent credential.

The exams measure proficiency at levels that compare to those of graduating high school seniors.

There are GED students who do better if they study at one of the physical GED prep class sites listed on this page supervised by a teacher, while other students learn better with an online prep course.

This website offers free video instruction and practice tests to help you learn if learning with an online GED prep course is right for you. If so, we advise you to continue with Onsego GED Prep, a full-scope, affordable course that GED Testing Service has awarded the predicate “100% aligned to the current GED test.”

The GED has four subtests (independent modules) in these subjects:

  • Language Arts (Reading and Writing in one subtest)
  • Science
  • Social Studies
  • Math

You can write these modules separately and in any order.

HiSET testing comes with individual reading and writing tests (so five overall) that are offered separately, too.
