GED Classes San Diego California

This page contains a complete overview of GED class locations and test centers in the San Diego region. California is using the entirely computerized GED exam for its high school equivalency testing program.

California also welcomed the HiSET alternatives for this purpose. This exam is offered both on paper and on computer.

Both the GED and the HiSET are now available online as well. Check below to read more about online proctored HiSET and GED testing.

Testing occurs on a level that compares to what HS seniors must master when they graduate.

You can very well prepare for the GED and HiSET exams at one of the locations listed here, but if you are a disciplined learner, you may also benefit from Onsego’s Online GED Classes, a premium online course that received the qualification “Totally GED Exam-Aligned” from GED Testing Service®.

This website offers free GED practice tests and free online GED classes to help you determine whether studying online works well for you. If it does, continue your GED prep with Onsego GED Prep, a premium, affordable, accredited program.

The GED exam consists of four individual subtests covering the subjects of

• Language
• Math
• Science
• Social Studies

You may complete these subtests separately and in any order.

The HiSET exam includes individual writing and reading subtests, so five in total, that can also be taken separately.

Go to “GED in California” to learn more about California HiSET and GED testing fees and qualification requirements.

Online GED and HiSET Exams

Students looking to earn their California HSE diploma can now take the HiSET or GED exam online as well. Until recently, online GED or HiSET testing was not an option; it simply was not available. You needed to come to an official state-designated GED testing center and take the test in person.

That has now changed. GED or HiSET testing is now also offered in proctored formats over the Internet. Learn more here -> The online proctored HiSET exam, and for information on the GED, check out -> The online proctored GED exam.
