Posted here are all GED prep class locations and testing sites in the Los Angeles region. California uses the GED exam for high school equivalency testing purposes. The state additionally offers the HiSET exam for this purpose.
If you want to start on the road to your GED diploma, use our free GED classes online. This way, you can see if working with an online course suits you well. If so, we suggest you go further with Onsego GED Prep Online, an accredited, affordable program.

- Reasoning through Language Arts
- Mathematical Reasoning
- Social Studies, including Geography and Biology
- Science, including Physics and Chemistry
You can sit for the four GED subtests (or modules) one at a time and in the order you wish.
The HiSET exam has separate reading and writing tests, so five tests in total, that can be taken separately as well.

Proctored Online GED and HiSET
The HiSET and GED exams are both available in an online format as well. Until recently, if you wanted to earn your HSE diploma, you were required to sit for the tests at an official California testing center. Online testing was simply not possible.
Now, that has changed as the HiSET and GED exams are offered in an online, proctored version as well. An online proctor will oversee your activities to check if everything goes according to the rules and regulations. To read more, check out -> ‘online HiSET testing,’ and for online GED testing, <- check here.
