About High School Equivalency Tests
Adults who want to gain a high school diploma or the equivalent can make up credits missed during high school at a local adult school OR study for a high school equivalency test, like the GED or HiSET.
Passing a high school equivalency test opens up many job and educational opportunities. Talk to a counselor at an adult school to find out what's best for you. You can take GED prep classes at an adult school, get tutoring at the library, or find another community resource.
