The GED program has been used for more than seven decades to assess a test-taker’s knowledge and skills at the level that can be expected of high school seniors. The GED diploma is necessary to get into higher education, get a decent job, and qualify for job promotions.
The GED exam is available in English and Spanish. The GED (General Education Development) examination is a nationally recognized set of four tests created to assess the skills and concepts typically learned during a regular four-year high school education.
Practically all employers, community colleges, and universities accept the GED certificate in lieu of a high school credential. The GED exam consists of four separate tests: Literacy, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science. The HiSET exam contains five separate subtests.
To pass, students must receive a score of no less than 145 points on each test module, so a total score of 580 points across the four test modules. The HiSET is scored in its own way.
