GED is a group of tests in reading, writing, math, social studies, and science that certify a person has high school level academic skills. It is not a super-hard test, but it does cover a lot of ground. It requires at least 6 months, and more likely a year of intense, committed study.
The GED is made up of the following:
| Subject | Test Type |
Time |
|---|---|---|
| Language Arts, Writing Part 1 |
50 Questions | 75 min |
| Language Arts, Writing Part 2 |
Essay | 45 min |
| Social Studies | 50 Questions | 70 min |
| Science | 50 Questions | 80 min |
| Language Arts Reading |
40 Questions | 65 min |
| Mathematics | 50 Questions | 90 min |
GED testing is available only at official testing centers and cannot be taken online. Beginning in 2014 the test will be administered primarily on computers.
For some, getting a GED may represent completion of unfinished business, while for others the GED is the prerequisite for going to college. Most colleges and universities accept the GED as equivalent to a high school diploma.
