GED Classes Modesto, California

This is an overview of GED prep classes and testing locations in the Modesto region. California uses two options for high school equivalency testing: the HiSET and GED exams.

The HiSET and GED can be taken online or at an official California testing facility.

The exams give individuals who quit high school before graduating another chance to earn an equivalent degree.

Both exams measure knowledge at a level that compares to that of graduating HS students.

The GED includes four separate subtests covering the subjects of

• Math
• Science
• Social Studies
• English Language Literacy

The sub-exams can be written separately and in any order.

With our free GED classes online and practice tests, you can learn if working with an online program is the right thing for you.

If that’s the case, we suggest you go on with Onsego GED Prep Online, an affordable, award-winning GED course, and get your GED fast.

If you would rather learn under the guidance of an instructor, contact one of the GED prep facilities listed on this page.

The HiSET exam has individual writing and reading subtests (five in total) that are also offered separately.

HiSET and GED Exams Online

You can now take both the GED and the HiSET online. Until recently, online HSE (High School Equivalency) testing was not possible. You had to come to a state-designated test center and sit for the tests in person.

Fortunately, that has now changed. The GED and HiSET exams are now also available in an online proctored version as well. To learn more, visit ‘The online HiSET exam,’ and for GED information, check out -> ‘The online GED test.’
