GED Classes Santa Ana California

This post lists all GED prep class locations and test centers in the Santa Ana region. California uses two options for high school equivalency testing: the HiSET and GED exams.

Both of these options can be taken online or at a state-approved testing facility. You can read more about online HiSET and GED testing below.

The exams are for adults who did not finish high school and offer another chance to earn an equivalent degree. Both tests measure academic proficiency at the same level that may be expected of graduating high school students.

The GED exam must be taken fully on a computer, while the HiSET is available both on paper and on computer.

There are four GED subject tests that cover the academic subjects of

• Science
• Math
• Language
• Social Studies

These subtests (independent modules) may be taken separately and in any order.

Our website provides free GED online classes to help you get started on your path to a GED diploma.

If online learning suits you well, register with Onsego GED Online, a comprehensive, accredited program. If it is not right for you, contact one of the facilities listed below to study under the supervision of a teacher.

The HiSET exam comes with five subtests (separate Reading and Writing tests) that may be written separately as well.

If you want to learn more about HiSET and GED testing fees and qualification criteria in California, visit “GED In California.”

Online Proctored GED and HiSET Exams

Students looking to acquire their HSE diploma in California can now sit for the GED or HiSET exam online as well. Until recently, there was never an online option to take the GED or  HiSET exam. Your personal appearance at an official, state-approved testing site was required.

Well, that has changed! You can also take the GED and HiSET exams now in a proctored online format. Learn more in these posts: online proctored GED exam and online proctored HiSET exam.
