The General Educational Development (GED) tests are a group of four academic subject tests in the United States and Canada certifying academic knowledge equivalent for a high school diploma. This certification is an alternative to the U.S. high school diploma, as is HiSET. Passing the GED test gives those who do not complete high school, or who do not meet requirements for high school diploma, the opportunity to earn a Certificate of High School Equivalency or similarly titled credential. GED Testing Service is a joint venture of the American Council on Education, which started the GED program in 1942.

For those that meet the qualification, they can register through Pearson Vue or register an account with ged.com. People who live outside the United States, Canada, or U.S. territories may be eligible to take the GED tests through Pearson VUE testing centre.

According to GED Testing Service policy, students at least 16 years old and not enrolled in high school are eligible for the program. However, many States in the US require the candidate to be 17 years old and a resident of that State. Some States in the US that allow students under 17 years of age to take the test require a letter of parental consent and a letter of consent from the student’s school district. In South Africa and Namibia, students who are at least 17 years old are eligible for this exam.

The GED exam measure proficiency in science, mathematics, social studies, reading, and writing. There are four exams, you can take them in any order; namely, Reasoning through Language Art (RLA) otherwise called English & writing, science, social studies and mathematics.
