This is an overview of GED® class locations and testing facilities in the greater Redding area.
California uses three options for HSE (high school equivalency) testing, the GED, TASC, and HiSET exams.
HSE testing gives individuals who never graduated high school the chance to obtain an equivalent degree.
The HiSET and TASC are available on-paper and on-computer while the GED is offered exclusively on a computer.
All three options measure academic proficiency at a level that compares to that of graduating HS seniors.
The GED exam has four subtests (modules) in Literacy, Social Studies, Math, and Science that must be completed within two years.
TASC and HiSET include five subtests (separate writing and reading tests) that cannot be taken separately.
Online HSE testing is NOT possible but online preparation is fine so benefit from these free practice tests for your GED, TASC, or HiSET exam.

For who is the GED?
The GED program is set up for individuals who did not finish high school and gives them one more possibility to obtain a similar diploma of equivalent value. After passing the GED exam you will be given a diploma that is recognized as equivalent to a normal high school diploma and is accepted nationwide by employers and institutions of higher education.
No online HSE testing
The GED exam is done on a computer, but test-taking can only be done at an official testing center, the GED (or HiSET or TASC) exam is NOT available online, and websites with different information are fraudulent.
GED alternatives TASC and HiSET
Besides the new GED exam, California also provides two alternative testing programs for its residents, the TASC, and the HiSET examinations. These two alternatives offer besides computer-based tests also paper-based testing and will also lead to the High School Equivalency Diploma.

Applicants must be residents of California, be at least 18 yrs. or older (or be within 60 days of their 18th birthday), not be enrolled in another school program, and not already hold a secondary education degree.
