General Education Development (GED)
We offer online tests for the General Education Development (GED) . The GED test measures your skills and abilities in five separate exams, consisting of Science, Social Studies, Reading, Mathematics and Writing. You will earn a high school equivalency diploma from Alberta Education if you achieve a passing grade of 450 on each of the five exams.
The GED test is suitable for those who have achieved a minimum high school level of Grade 10 in the last five years. In many instances, the test is used to recognize academic achievement in order to get a job.
You may require additional academic upgrading after taking the GED if you are looking to enter a post-secondary program.
