GED
A GED, or General Educational Development, is a high school equivalency credential in the United States and Canada. It’s designed for individuals who didn’t complete high school but want to demonstrate they have equivalent knowledge and skills. The GED test covers five subjects: reading, writing, math, science, and social studies. Passing the test earns a certificate recognized by employers and colleges as equivalent to a high school diploma. It’s typically taken by adults seeking better job opportunities or further education. The test is administered by the GED Testing Service and can be taken at authorized testing centers or, in some cases, online.
Online GED scams are becoming more and more common as need for the exam rises. Because those seeking to get a GED certification are often those who need more flexible education options, online GED scams often get away with manipulative tactics like promising flexible testing options that don’t exist or a fast, easy way of taking the GED. If you’re unsure whether you’re getting scammed, the best thing to do is just to register at the official GED site and find a testing center using their official tools.
