3 ways to complete your high school education
- High school diploma classes – if you are just a few classes shy of earning your high school diploma, this may be a good program for you.
- GED classes (General Educational Development) – if you haven?t taken very many high school classes, then a GED class, which prepares you to take the computer-based GED exam, could be a quicker route. The GED exam is broken into four different tests: mathematical reasoning; reasoning through language arts; social studies and science.
- HiSET classes (High School Equivalency Test) – The HiSet is similar to the GED. In either case, if you pass the test, you earn your high school equivalency certificate. The HiSET tests in five core areas: language arts-reading; language arts-writing; mathematics; science and social studies.
Some schools may offer online preparation, so check with the school. Also, some schools offer some of the classes in English or Spanish.
