The GED can help you reach your educational and employment goals. Most
colleges and employers accept a GED credential as equivalent to a high school diploma.
Many adults who did not finish high school have the same knowledge and skills as those who graduated. GED Tests let them show they have high school-level academic knowledge and skills.
The GED is a series of five tests in Language Arts - Reading, Language Arts -Writing, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies.
The State Board for Community and Technical Colleges (SBCTC) oversees GED Testing for the State
