What is Ged®?
GED® is an abbreviation for the development of general education and is a battery of five tests that, when passed, stands as an equivalent diploma in high school. It is often referred to as a diploma of general education or in general education, as in the sentence: "I got my GED." This is inaccurate. Ged® is not only testing, but a program that offers teaching and preparation for those who have not completed high school.
The GED® program was first launched for military members who did not receive a high school diploma after World War II, causing it to be more difficult to find a job. The US Education Council (ACE) began offering tests and education to civilians in 1947, and now most people who pass GED® test are civilians. Preparation for GED® is usually performed through adult education classes that are freely offered. There are some private programs that offer GED® Prep, but passing classes before the test is usually not a prerequisite.
Some places for testingThey require a preliminary test before performing the GED® test. You can visit the online GED® website and get information about testing sites in your area. You will need to be at least 16 years of age to register in advance for tests and bring photo identification with you. If you have not received adult education courses to prepare for Ged®, it is strongly recommended that you can buy or borrow several books from the library and try sample tests. You will have to pay fees for testing that may vary depending on the place. Some test points allow you to perform different parts of the test at different times, while others serve all parts of the test on the same day.
There are five areas or parts of the GED® test. These are:
- linguistic art, writing
- linguistic art, reading
- Social Studies
