This post includes a complete overview of GED prep classes and test centers in the Winston-Salem region. North Carolina uses two exams for high school equivalency testing, the GED and HiSET.
Both exams are available online and at state-approved test centers.
The assessments give persons without a high school diploma one more option to earn a credential that is equivalent to a high school diploma.
The GED includes four individual tests measuring a test-taker’s skills and knowledge of these subjects:

Launching Online HiSET and GED Exams
You could never take the HiSET or GED exam online. If you wanted to get hold of your North Carolina high school equivalency (HSE) credential, you were required to show up in person at an official North Carolina HSE testing center.
Now, with the launch of both GED and HiSET online testing options, that has changed. If you want to get informed about the newly introduced GED online test-taking option, visit The online GED test, and to learn more about online HiSET testing, check out this page: Introducing the online HiSET exam.
