General Educational Development The General Educational Development (GED) tests are a group of four academic subject tests in the United States and Canada certifying academic knowledge equivalent for a high school diploma. This certification is an alternative to the U.S. high school diploma, as is HiSET.
@@gwan1307 大多数人是diploma。你看下面最后一段就是了。 A high school diploma and a General Educational Development (GED) both demonstrate high school-level knowledge, but they have some key differences: High school diploma A diploma is awarded to students who complete all required courses in a traditional classroom setting, usually over four years. This involves studying, learning, taking tests, and completing assignments, and students must earn passing grades in all classes. GED A GED is a series of four exams that measure a student's academic skills and knowledge in language arts, social studies, science, and math. There are no required classes to take the GED, but students must be at least 16 years old, not currently enrolled in high school, and pass all four exams with a score of 145 or higher to earn a GED. Students can take the GED online or at a testing center in Oregon by creating an account on the GED website. While a high school diploma is the more common path, a GED can be a good option for students who left high school early or have other responsibilities, like a job or family. However, some say that a high school diploma can lead to better job opportunities because it can help students develop independent skills.
