GED (GENERAL EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT)

The GED test measures how well someone has mastered the skills and general knowledge that are commonly associated with a four-year high school education. The test covers the same subjects that people study in high school. The five subjects are:

• Language Arts Writing
• Language Arts Reading
• Social Studies
• Science
• Mathematics

When a student passes the GED test he/she will be given a certificate that is equivalent to a high school diploma. The GED is widely recognized by colleges, training schools, and employers. The American Council on Education reports that more than 95% of employers in the nation employ GED graduates and offer them the same salaries and opportunities for advancement as high school graduates.
