What is GED?
You may hear other meanings for GED such as Graduate Equivalency Degree or General Educational Diploma. However, GED traditionally stands for General Educational Development Test.

After graduating from high school, you will receive a diploma. A diploma is a document stating you've completed all the required courses to graduate. Some students in high school are close to finishing and getting a diploma, but don't quite get there. In those cases, students can take a series of tests that will indicate whether they have a high school level of education. This is known as the GED test.

    The GED test has four main areas of testing:

  • Mathematical Reasoning
  • Reasoning Through Language Arts
  • Science
  • Social Studies

You will take four separate tests that together make up the entire GED exam. Each test takes at least one hour, and you must get a certain score to pass. You can schedule one test at a time or all four at once.
