This article lists all GED® prep locations and testing sites in and around Sierra Vista. Arizona uses the GED (General Educational Development) exam for high school equivalency (HSE) testing.
There is now also an option to take the GED test online. Test-takers need to attain “green” scores on the GED Ready® official practice test to qualify for online testing. Read more below.
The HSE program offers people who didn’t graduate high school one more shot at earning an equivalent degree.
The GED exam includes four separate subtests that measure basic knowledge that students are taught in four years of high school.
The subject tests are in literacy, math, science, and social studies, and you can sit for these subject tests separately.
Arizona GED testers must additionally take and pass the state’s Civics Exam.
