Adult Secondary Education programs are designed to help adults who did not complete high school to earn a high school diploma or equivalency certificate.

The International Baccalaureate (IB) is a rigorous academic program for high school students, not a high school equivalency exam.

The GED exam consists of four sections: Reasoning Through Language Arts, Mathematical Reasoning, Science, and Social Studies.

The passing score for the GED exam is 70%.

Most people who prepare for the GED exam spend 3-6 months studying.

Earning a High School Equivalency diploma can lead to increased job opportunities, higher earning potential, and improved self-confidence.
