GED Classes San Francisco, California

Last Updated on April 10, 2024.

This post lists all GED prep class sites and testing facilities in the San Francisco region. California uses two exams for high school equivalency testing, the GED and HiSET.

The exams offer people who never graduated from high school an extra option to acquire an equivalent diploma.

Both of these options are now available in an online format as well. Check below to read more about online proctored GED® and HiSET® testing.

Testing takes place at a level similar to that of high school seniors upon graduation.

You can get prepared for the HiSET or GED at one of the sites listed here, but you can also use the online GED course created by Onsego Online GED Prep, an affordable, engaging program of which GED Testing Service states that it is “100% in line with the latest version of the GED test.”

This website provides free practice tests and free online GED classes that will help you find out if learning with online resources fits your learning style. If so, continue with Onsego GED Prep and secure your GED super fast!

GED testing involves four modules (independent subtests) that measure a candidate’s skills and knowledge in these academic subject areas:

• Mathematical Reasoning
• Science, including Life Science, Physical Science, and Earth and Space Science
• Social Studies, including History, Geography, Economics, and Government
• Reasoning through Language Arts, Reading and Writing combined into one test

HiSET testing involves individual reading and writing tests, so five overall. All HiSET and GED sub-exams may be written separately and in any order.

Visit the page “GED Testing In California” if you want to read all about the costs associated with HiSET or GED testing fees and the eligibility requirements in California.

Online GED and HiSET Testing

If you want to earn your California high school equivalency diploma, you can do so over the Internet as well. In the past, there was no online GED or HiSET testing option. It was simply not available. You had to come to a state-designated test center and sit for the tests in person.

Well, that has changed. Now, the GED and HiSET exams are also available in online, proctored formats. To read more about this great development, check out these posts: The online HiSET test,’ and for the online GED option: ‘The online GED test.’
