Prepare for GED Test Series
Lacking a high school diploma no longer has to hold you back in your career aspirations. If you're comfortable reading a high school textbook, doing basic math operations without a calculator, and writing a short letter in English, then you're ready to take the GED® test. More than 300,000 Americans take the GED® test annually and those who pass gain the skills and knowledge equivalent to a U.S. high school diploma.
Preparing for the GED® is key to passing the test, and an online course helps...
